Charis Fellowship
Knowing Jesus… Making Him Known
The Charis Fellowship is a family of churches and ministries committed to His truth, His church and His mission.
Starting Points
The Charis commitment to following biblical truth began in 1708 near Schwarzenau, Germany, when a small group of Christians committed themselves to following Jesus and the Word of God, no matter what the cost.
Ministries and Development
Today, the Charis Fellowship is part of a multi-national network of churches.
The Destination
The Commitment to Common Ministry, developed by the Charis network of Grace Brethren church leaders worldwide, affirms that the church is God’s plan for this age and that members and resources should be used to plant new churches. It also seeks to develop leaders in local congregations and culturally sensitive strategies to train those leaders. It also calls upon the local church to bless believers, strengthen churches, and reach the lost by showing works that reflect true faith.
