Manchester University provides opportunities to explore, develop and nurture a living faith in an environment that celebrates diversity. The University maintains a valued relationship with the Church of the Brethren, a Christian denomination recognized as a historic peace church. The influence is reflected in the world’s first undergraduate peace studies program; a robust service-learning program; the Manchester University Reconciliation Service, a conflict-resolution program; voluntary weekly chapel services; and strong ministry programming. Student faith organizations on both campuses represent a range of denominations and traditions.

What is the Church of the Brethren?

The Church of the Brethren is an Anabaptist denomination and one of three historic peace churches. It holds no creed but the New Testament. The Brethren value community, simplicity, justice, peace, service and reconciliation. Brethren seek to continue the work of Jesus – peacefully, simply and together.
