The Unexpected Rules and Customs of the Amish Community

Church Services

The Amish do not hold their religious services in a church. Anabaptists were persecuted long before the Amish community came together. At the start of this lifestyle, they were forced to practice privately in their homes. Now, that tradition holds strong. Each week, a member of the community will hold a church service on their property.
