Can you attend Amish church? (5 Things to Know)

Is it possible to attend Amish church service if you're not Amish? The short answer is yes, but there are a number of things to keep in mind.
My name is Erik Wesner and I'm not Amish. Back in 2004, I met the Amish while selling books. Since then, I've visited 5,000+ Amish homes & dozens of Amish communities. I run the Amish America website. More: amishamerica.com/

My dad's church used to hold services in German. During WWII, some official came to the church and told them "No more German." It's unfortunate they didn't go back to services in German after the war was over, because I probably would have learned it that way. Also, one of my dad's brothers was chosen to communicate with the German POWs. They were surprised he was a Yankee, because he spoke German so well.

[@kimfleury]

My grandmother's parents, and some of her uncles and aunts were among the founding families of the Church where I was baptized. It's an awkward history, because the Church also had Irish and Polish communities in the area at the time. The Polish and the Irish had a dispute over culture. Same religion, different cultural expressions. The Diocese put off the request of the German community to build a German church because they wanted to avoid another cultural/language dispute. In the meantime, the German families requested nuns to be sent to teach at the school they they established. They couldn't get a full German language parish, but they could get approval for a German language school from the city school district. All the German churches had that approval. At the time, circa 1900, Germans were very well respected as honest, fair businessmen. The only added requirement was that children also had to learn to read and write in either French or English. By that time, English was becoming more common than French. My grandmother's family attended services in a chapel in the school, with a visiting minister every Sunday. By the time the parish was approved by the Diocese in about 1919, it was as an "English" parish. The German community had suffered some prejudice and suspicion during WWI, and to avoid trouble, some of the churches stopped preaching and teaching in German. My grandmother taught her French-Canadian husband how to speak German, but they didn't teach their children.

[@BHbh221]

That's really messed up. The Germans really went through a lot and were slandered.

[@lacyhay9022]

Yes you have to be invited. For 13 years now when the bishop writes to me from Kentucky we'll attend services there once a year. It's a hour drive from where I live so we leave at 6. I get to see a really good friend I made there. The bishop up here near us where my best friend lives that's amish, the bishop will call us from the neighbors and we attend 4 services a year. We also go to our friends church that is Mennonite the 2nd and 4th Sunday night service of each month. They consider us their children and treat us like their children at times. And we go to our families church. It's pretty amazing to be invited sometimes the bishop up here will call us to come help out a new family in their community. We'll do a canning party while the men will help the new dad get everything ready for the winter. There can be around 100 people at the first time parents house at 5am working. I know the last time we went to do this we was there at 5am and left around 8 at night. I remember we canned around 3,000 jars that day and the guys got a fence finished and my husband and several other men split around 40 ricks of wood. It was a good day

[@WilliamWeicht]

I grew up in Somerset County, PA, The Amish there have a church building and people come from miles around to watch the Amish go to church. I never did because our church service started around 9:30.

[@Melissa0774]

So what do they actually talk about during the services? Do you know the answer to that, since it's not in English? Do they just read passages from the Bible and stuff, or do they give sermons where they talk about different issues and why they believe what they do?

[@RockinRavenVA]

Having been to several Amish church services, they build their sermons around Bible passages, tell stories from the Bible, and add in personal anecdotes and general advice relating the material to their lives. They don't use written notes. Their sermons are written down in their heads.

[@TheHamburgler123]

When I worshipped with the German Baptists in SE Washington, going to church was to worship God and no visiting was done before services. They were quiet and focused on worshipping when they went and when the service was over was the time for greeting and visiting.

[@AmishAmerica]

Not much visiting happens before Amish service either. It's pretty quiet basically exchanging handshakes around the circle and for some, the Holy Kiss. As a guest at church sometimes some of the men have exchanged a few words with me before church but the bulk of that is for the fellowship meal and visiting after the service

Three hours on a hard wooden bench, I wouldn't do well with that but then again with the promise of Amish Peanut Butter during the meal I might be persuaded. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting. It makes sense that most would have more of a house church than a special church building set aside. There is a KZbinr, Lynette Yoder is her channel name. If I remember right, she grew up Amish and their church collectively decided to become Mennonite. She shares regular life stuff as a more liberal Mennonite mom, but she often shares about Amish food and she had a video on a "Real Amish Church Lunch." The peanut butter spread you mentioned made me think of that!

You’re doing a fair job of representing the Amish. Pie at the end of the church service, though? That’s unusual. Cookies, yes,but pie was for the evening singings in most communities. You sound like you’re from Canada or Minnesota, they might have pie after church up there, for all I know. To all reading who would like more knowledge of the Amish,”Our Heritage, Hope, and Faith”(Pathway Publishing) is a good start.

GREAT VIDEOS. THANKS for the candid information. MUSIC? Acapella I would assume. SW Oklahoma, where I was born & raised, had no Amish services. So I am uninformed, but learning. The church of Christ is from the Anabaptist background with historical roots in the 1st century, though precious little is recorded, more accurately, records were systematically destroyed. As you probably know, the services of the church of Christ is heavily music involved. I think that would be the way to say that. The music is Acapella & strictly congregationally performed, no instruments and no choirs. Is this similar to the Amish services? Thank you. I am a college professor of Ancient History, but sure don't know much about modern stuff !!!

This is truly a serious question. What's church peanut butter? Is it special just for church services, or do they just not have peanut butter except at church services? I'd be greatly interested in attending an Amish church service to see how it differs from my own experiences in church, although the thought of sitting on those hard benches for 3 hours + makes my bottom ache. haha If they know that there are going to be visitors who aren't used to that, do they provide cushions for them to sit on? In some novels that I've read that were set in an Amish communities they did this for visitors who weren't used to that. So I was just wondering if this was real or not. Thanks for another good and interesting video. :)

[@OldLordSpeedy]

3:05 Hmm ... "Lebt friedsam" in correct German. It is a verb, not a Nomen. Only German Nomen use first big letter... I think after this is an very old word and in a song where every word starts big it should be - but incorrectly use! It is an old christian song from the "Amish Ausbund" from 1742 (literally 'An Amish book for household use'). In this time was house churches typical and every family should have one copy at home. After the believe that God is at every home (see Buddhist believe!) it is natural not to build an extra church. Then this one was a typical sign of the catholic and orthodox church - exact from this the Zwingli and Luther people goes away around 1500! The put-away of music inside church mess is the place - the typical church is the house. Then every believe in God should came from the own singing - they use it at work and school too. In the history till goes over the water into the new holy country they use churches and music too but after the typical gemeinde was very small in the new holy country they change his mind.

When you say “The Amish” you are referring to old order and Swartzentruber Amish. There are others such as Amish Mennonite (not to be confused with Mennonites) and Beachy Amish who have church every week. Also, many Amish no longer read in Pennsylvania Deitsche and have started reading English translations of the Bible. This has started to cause trouble in some congregations of old order Amish because of perceived discrepancies between what they read in the Bible and what they are taught in the ordnung.

I really wonder me after the most Old Amish are anabaptist and live after order of Zwingli and Grebel too - not only of Luther. Specially around 1500 where many are more from Switzerland and south-western (Pfalz, Baden). The typical german is pfalzian, not higher-saxony same Martin Luther mother language. So this bible in high german (new high-saxony) should be very young and not older as 100 years I think. Some new ideas from Martin Luther they do not like e.g. music, new order of liturgy, aso. Why they not printed own German Holy Bible after Zwingli and in pfalzian language? Every Amish should learn to read and speak it till this time.

The Bible or the entire Holy Writing of the Old and New Testaments (although singular in the German) after (according to) the German translation of Dr. Martin Luther I appreciated reading your comments about the various German styles and the related years of usage.

@@kathyh.1720 I translate it word for word correctly. My point is that s/he show a bible from M. Luther - but they are a kind of baptism after an other leader - they are more ⅓ Lutheran, ⅔ Calvin. One point of calvinism is "not to accept new things". Technically farmer around 1700 use an ox on field but I think a horse have a better handling and can help better on travel around. BTW: But the English language is wrong at this point - it exist in the (Greek) bible only *one* old testament and *one* new testament. No plural ...
