  • Key to Historical Abbreviations

The goal is a complete list of every gathering that has existed in a province (or state) that has roots (or definite influence from) within any branch of the Brethren movement. If an assembly has changed in affiliation/format, that is noted with the abbreviation in parentheses, if known. In the examples where nothing is listed next to an era, it should be presumed it maintained the same affiliation as prior or subsequent. Present abbreviations used, with brief description:

  • (OB): Open Brethren: As opposed to the Closed or Exclusive Brethren. May refer to Chapels, Halls, or other types of names of churches that retain Brethren flavor (whether "loose" or "tight" or a blend).
  • (BC): Bible Church: These are churches that are evangelical in nature, but with no recognizable traits or distinctives that it associated (in that era) with with the Brethren movement, and a majority of its constituency may be unaware of its background.
  • (EB): As belonging to the Exclusive (and/or closed) Brethren, but prior to the PBCC, TW, KLC or other splits. Or in some cases, of unknown branch affiliation, but known to have been Exclusive.
  • (TW): Tunbridge Wells closed brethren network that split in 1908/1909 from what is now PBCC.
  • (PBCC): Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, an Exclusive group initially (post-Darby) led by Raven, then Taylor Sr., Taylor Jr., and presently Hales. All "closed" branches seceded from this group.
  • More initials forthcoming when relevant to this list. See Assemblies Worldwide for a more complete list of branches possible.
  • If a link is in RED, no page has been developed for the assembly yet.  If it is in BLUE, you may click on it for further info.   Hyperlinks generally reserved for the last known name of the assembly (with the former names with years known as, included).  
  • Years listed are approximate (where known).  Sources include assembly address lists, ministry magazines, oral testimony, etc.  A plus sign suggests future years (or past) to be verified.   "2019+" indicates presumed present existence.  Lacking a plus sign in either direction indicates known beginning or end dates. 
  • Two years with a slash may indicate what year Gospel work initiated, with the subsequent being the year the assembly broke bread.    Some start dates in bold suggest further research, or highlight special accolades.  +1878 suggests (but not yet known) earlier start date but records unavailable, desiring further research.
