PBCC meaning in Community ?

The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC) is an influential Christian sect led by Australian businessman Bruce Hales. The group has its origins in Exclusive Brethren, a Plymouth Brethren group, itself a branch of the Open Brethren. The PBCC was established in the early nineteenth century. At this time many Christians were becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the Anglican Church with its forms and customs.

Some of the most prominent teachers of the Brethren were living in Plymouth, UK. By 1829 the first permanent meetings were held in simple meeting rooms and these gathering places became known as those of the Plymouth Brethren. There are now over 50,000 people who identify as members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. These people are spread across 17 countries including Australia, New Zealand, the Americas, UK and Europe.

In 2012, the group incorporated under the name Plymouth Brethren (Exclusive Brethren) Christian Church Limited.
