Lanark First Brethren Church

A Faith Community

About Us

We are more than a nicely maintained building in a small, rural community. As a witness to God’s faithfulness and grace, our hope is to be a community of blessed, gifted, talented, caring and loving people who want to be used by God.

Our hometown church has an established history of caring for the community. We trace our rich heritage back to July 14, 1884. Since those early days, we have actively worked to create a healthy environment for the citizens of Lanark. We are not, however, locked into the past. We are concerned with helping others and are committed to the renewal of our community through outreach, discipleship and spiritual formation.


Our Beliefs

Brethren base all their beliefs and practices on the Bible. Brethren believe that the Bible is the written Word of God, and view it as authoritative in all matters of faith and conduct.
