Hutterite Christian Communities
The Hutterite Christian Communities are an affiliation of independent Hutterite colonies, that work closely together and also have their preachers delivering sermons in the other colonies of this affiliation. Currently there are five colonies:
- Fort Pitt Farms Christian Community in Frenchman Butte, Saskatchewan, Canada (independent since 1999)
- Altona Christian Community in Henderson, Minnesota (founded 2005)[1]
- Elmendorf Christian Community in Mountain Lake, Minnesota (circa 2005)[2]
- Rocky Cape Christian Community on the Australian island of Tasmania (since 2006)
- Grand River Christian Community near the town of Jamesport, Missouri (since 2014).[3][4]
Elmendorf is the best known of these communities, because Peter Hoover lived there for several years.
Population
These communities have about 525 people living there, mostly ethnic Hutterites, but also people of Amish, Old Order Mennonite and Russian Mennonite background as well as seekers.
