Marriage of tradition and progress in Amana Church
Amana Church Society keeps core beliefs from 1714 while adapting worship. Elder Jon Childers says the community preserves Werkzeuge as faith history though not in active use today. Services mix English and German with a non denominational Christian framework and a focus on ancestral heritage.
