The Schwenkfelder Church (ⓘ) is a small American Christian body rooted in the 16th-century Protestant Reformation teachings of Caspar Schwenkfeld von Ossig (1489–1561). They originated in Silesia (Germany). Due to persecution, they migrated to Saxony (Germany) then through the Netherlands and England. Six migrations brought the Schwenkfelders to America. The largest group arrived on September 22,1734.
