Assessment

Five Forks Brethren in Christ Church serves the Waynesboro area in Franklin County, Pennsylvania — historic BIC heartland in the Mason-Dixon region. Pastor Brady Smith leads this Atlantic Conference congregation. Brethren in Christ blends Anabaptist peace heritage and Wesleyan-Holiness soteriology — mission-minded congregations with synergistic theology. For a Waynesboro-area man wanting a small-town, denominationally-rooted Anabaptist-Holiness church under male senior leadership, Five Forks merits a visit. Denominational gender yellow stands.
