SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE DEDICATION The Smith Mountain Lake Community Church, a new church start of the Church of the Brethren, dedicated their newly purchased five-acre site March 19. Located seven miles south of Burnt Chimney, Va., in the Roanoke area, this property was secured through a partnership of the Community Church and the congregations of the Virlina District. Pastor Jerry Naff spoke on the importance of giving thanks to God for this expression of vision, faith and hope, and Virlina district executive David K. Shumate led those assembled in a dedicatory prayer. The service concluded with a ground-breaking service followed by remarks by John Hamilton, trustee of the Hamilton Trust from which the property was purchased. Members of the Smith Mountain Lake Building Committee, chaired by Clinton Wade, expressed the hope that they will be in their new building by November. Completion of the building will require a $230,000 indebtedness. The fellowship reports having received pledges totaling $103,000 toward this goal. The Smith Mountain Lake Community Church began in 1995, located in a resort community. Judy Mills Reimer, current executive director of the General Board, was the founding pastor.

Home Contents Townships Church of the Brethren There were several Old Order Brethren congregations in Somerset County. Many people incorrectly refer to this sect of the Anabaptists as "DUNKARD". This term was applied to the members of the Church of the Brethren in the late 19th century and early 20th. The word "Dunker" was acutally a anglicized corruption of the German word, "Tunker," which means "dipper" or immerserer referring to the mode of baptism practiced by this group. The term is still used today by two minor conservative orders, Old Order Dunkards and the Dunkard Brethren. The mode of baptism practiced by this group was adopted during this groups founding in Pennsylvania in the 1770's. In Brothers Valley Township It is believed that the first religious group to arrive in Somerset County were the German Baptists or "Die Bruder's Leute". They are the one's who named "Brueder Thal" or Brothers Valley and were said to have been organized in the county as early as 1763. In Stony Creek Township The Stony Creek congregation called, Glade Church, first records its founding in 1763 under the supervision of George William MARTIN. In 1770, a list of 17 members is recorded by the Rev. Martin and his wife.

Peters Creek Church of the Brethren One of the Valley's Oldest Peters Creek Church of the Brethren built in 1845 Early in the 18th century Europe was torn by strife. In the Eder Valley, near Schwargenau, Germany in the spring of 1708, Alexander Mack along with seven others, began a movement which evolved into what is known today as "The Church of The Brethren". In 1719, Mack, with his numerous followers, fled from Europe to America. The colony which they established in Germantown, Pennsylvania was the beginning of the "Dunkards" in America. We must remember the people called "Dunkards". who first came to the area were clannish, German speaking and for many years held themselves apart from their neighbors. They were hard working, industrious people and as a whole, excellent farmers. They sought only enough land to supply their needs. They sought neither wealth nor social prestige. They were not interested in political office and certainly they were not desirous of any type of military honor. When the Shenandoah Valley was first settled the Germans heavily populated the upper portion.
