OUR ANABAPTIST HERITAGE

Rosebank Church is part of a family of churches called Be in Christ (BIC, Formerly Brethren In Christ). The BIC began in the late 18th century in Pennsylvania, when a group of Mennonites became dissatisfied with the lack of spiritual passion in the church and so ventured off in a new direction. The BIC has been influenced by key elements of several spiritual movements, including the focus on heartfelt devotion to Jesus, the Wesleyan pursuit of personal holiness, and the Anabaptist emphasis on simplicity, peace-making, and living out the teachings of Jesus in everyday life.

Today the BIC Church has about 270 churches across North America and over 1,100 churches worldwide. The BIC Church also works closely with Mennonite Central Committee, the relief and development arm of Mennonite churches which compassionately responds to social needs around the world in the name of Christ.
