| | The Old Chapel in Wayne Township |
 | | The Church of the United Brethren in Christ traces its beginnings to a meeting in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1767 between its two founders, Martin Boehm, a Mennonite preacher and Philip William Otterbein, a German Reformed preacher. |
 | | The United Brethren influence in the part of Rockingham County, Virginia, where Frederick Huddle and Magdalena Byrd and their parents lived was so great that the nearest town to their homes, the small crossroads town of Ottobine, Virginia, was named after Philip William Otterbein. |
 | | On a national level, in 1946, the United Brethren in Christ Church united with the Evangelical Association to form the Evangelical United Brethren (E.U.B.) Church, and, in 1968, the E.U.B. Church united with the Methodist Church to form the United Methodist Church. |
