Caution
Assessment
Bunker Hill BIC is a Brethren in Christ congregation in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, led by Pastor Kelly Day. The Brethren in Christ denomination is an unusual blend of Anabaptist, Pietist, and Wesleyan-Holiness streams, holding to believers' baptism by immersion, peace witness, and an emphasis on personal holiness. The local congregation appears stable with active Sunday services. The denominational caveat is real: BIC U.S. has ordained women since the 1980s, so men seeking a tightly complementarian polity should ask about local elder/teaching practice before committing. The Anabaptist DNA does provide doctrinal accountability and a peace-church witness that some find compelling.
