Exclusive Brethren Family Life
Exclusive Brethren hold and practice the truth of household baptism (Acts 16:15,33; 1 Corinthians 1:16). Their children are baptised at infancy, before they are brought into the Assembly. This signifies the parents' faith and committal that the child belongs to the Lord, and will in time become committed to the Assembly.

Exclusive Brethren care for their aged and their sick, whether relatives or otherwise.

Their leaders have taught and demonstrated to them that their fellowship is based on unselfishness and each one caring for the interests of others (Acts20:35).

Social life is full and includes travel, fellowship, entertaining, and outdoor exercise.

Exclusive Brethren travel regionally and globally to attend special meetings and enjoy the universal fellowship.

Group travel is established for attendance at special meetings.

Exclusive Brethren do not attend restaurants or venues of worldly entertainment, nor eat with others outside their fellowship.

Overnight accommodation is always provided in other brethrens' homes.

Households generally entertain households, young and old mingling together to prove the blessings of the generational overlap.

Exclusive Brethren enjoy live music in their homes from their own members. Many younger Exclusive Brethren learn to play musical instruments.

A meeting every day provides opportunity for spiritual renewal and social contact at a suitable level.

Hospitality pursued without preference or prejudice is an obligation and privilege of their fellowship.
