The Mount Community

The Bruderhof (German for “place of brothers”) is a Christian intentional community of families and singles who share their possessions and live together seeking to fully live out Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount.

The Mount Community, located on the banks of the Hudson River, was started in 2012 and is home to around 150 people. It is made up of a mix of families and singles, young and old, who live, work, and worship together.

Located on the same property is the Mount Academy, a New York State-registered private high school. Most of the families and adult singles who live in the Mount Community work in the high school, which has approximately two hundred students. Other community departments include the kitchen, laundry, and medical and dental clinics. We share a daily meal in our dining hall, and worship together several times throughout the week.

Previously known as Mount St. Alphonsus, the main building on the property was a seminary of the Redemptorist Fathers of the Baltimore Province for more than one hundred years, and we appreciate the history and heritage that they have left on this property. The property also has a former convent, now used as an elementary school building.
