The Church of the United Brethren in Christ is a Protestant denomination of episcopal structure, Arminian theology, and evangelical emphasis, with roots in the Mennonite and German Reformed communities of 18th century Pennsylvania.
In 1899, a controversy over membership in secret societies such as the Freemasons split the United Brethren into majority liberal and minority conservative blocs, the latter of which was led by Bishop Milton Wright (father of the Wright Brothers).
The Wright-led faction continues today as a denomination of about 550 congregations, with 47,300 members in fifteen countries. Its headquarters are in Huntington, Indiana, where it operates a college and seminary.
As part of the UnitedBrethren in Christ Church, Mainsville UB holds to the same values as that of the denomination.
The UnitedBrethren church began with two very different men, Martin Boehm and William Otterbein, who realized that on the essentials of the faith, they were alike—that they were brothers in Christ.
Christ's presence in a Christian's life is demonstrated by a lifestyle of faithfulness and obedience to God.
