The group adheres to the Mennonite Confession of Faith (Christian Fundamentals, 1921, Garden City, Missouri) and to many of the practices which had been upheld by the Lancaster Mennonite Conference, including the conference-type of church organization and government (polity).
The Eastern Pennsylvania Mennonite Church has a written statement of standards known as the Rules and Discipline, which is reviewed every three or four years and then ratified again by the congregations.
They wear plain clothing, and their life is built around the church, schools, and religious activities.
The church's monthly periodical, Eastern Mennonite Testimony, is published by the Publication Board.
The schools are provided for young people in their late teens and early 20s, and offers a wide variety of Bible and practical studies.
Additional opportunities are provided in connection with missions in Central and South America, Mexico, The Bahamas, Ghana and Togo.
Congregations are also located in New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Vermont, Texas, Ohio, Maine, Wisconsin, Indiana, Washington, Virginia, Michigan, Massachusetts, Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia.
