Lybrook Communities: Our January Special Offering

Nestled in the remote beauty of the Navajo Nation, Lybrook Communities is more than a place—it’s a mission rooted in service, hope, and transformation. Established with the foundational values of the Church of the Brethren, Lybrook Communities represents a longstanding commitment to faith-based outreach, cultural collaboration, and compassionate service.

A Mission of Partnership and Purpose

Lybrook Communities has its origins in the vision of the Church of the Brethren to walk alongside underserved communities, providing support, resources, and spiritual encouragement. For decades, this mission has fostered a vibrant relationship with the Navajo people, emphasizing mutual respect and cultural exchange. Guided by the Brethren’s emphasis on peace, simplicity, and service, Lybrook strives to be a beacon of God’s love in action.

Holistic Support for Community Flourishing

Lybrook Communities focuses on meeting the physical, educational, and spiritual needs of the people it serves. Initiatives include:

• Education and Youth Development: Supporting students through tutoring, school supplies, and scholarships.
• Health and Wellness Programs: Offering resources to improve access to clean water, healthy food, and medical care.
• Faith and Worship: Providing opportunities for spiritual growth through worship services, Bible studies, and youth ministry programs.

These efforts are made possible by partnerships with local leaders, volunteers, and congregations within the Church of the Brethren who provide ongoing prayer, financial support, and hands-on service.

Living the Brethren Witness

Lybrook Communities exemplifies the Church of the Brethren’s call to serve as the hands and feet of Christ in the world. By working in harmony with the Navajo community, the mission reflects key Brethren values:

• Peace and Justice: Promoting understanding and reconciliation in all interactions.
• Community and Simplicity: Building meaningful relationships and fostering sustainability.
• Service and Humility: Prioritizing the needs of others in all actions.
