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. 

Barn-Raising Events

Most people think of barn-raising when it comes to the Amish. After all, it's one of the things that they are most known for! A barn-raising event is an economic and social one where the community comes together to build a barn for a member. This event showcases the sense of community and lack f selfishness among the community.
