The archives features a rotating exhibit of materials from its various collections.

The current exhibit highlights the life and work of two Brethren in Christ pioneers: Samuel R. Smith (1853-1916) and Sarah R. Bert (1860-1948). Smith was the founder and first president of Messiah Bible School and Missionary Training Home (now Messiah College), and Bert was an early Brethren in Christ missionary who served for many years at the denomination's Chicago Mission.

The exhibit features materials from the archives collections that illustrate the lives of service, sacrifice, and determination led by these pioneer leaders.

Many of the materials on display in this exhibit can also be found in our digital collection.
