Woodcrest Bruderhof

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.

Woodcrest, located in the mid-Hudson Valley, was founded in 1954 and is home to around 300 people. It is made up of a mix of families and singles, young and old, who live, work, and worship together.

Adults work in various community departments including the farm and garden, kitchen, laundry, medical and dental clinics, and the manufacturing facility and offices of Rifton Equipment, which produces adaptive equipment for children and adults with disabilities. Children attend elementary school on the community. We share a daily meal in the communal dining hall and worship together several times a week. We often collaborate with neighboring churches or community clubs to work on service projects, and we welcome visitors whether for a meal or longer stay.
