If you’re into hierarchy-run organized religion with lots of ceremony, this wouldn’t be for you - but if you like it simple, with “small-f” fundamental beliefs, you could look into what is sometimes called “Plymouth Brethren”.
(Not the Australian cult group)

They are pretty much Bsptist-like, except they have no clergy, the elders lead each individual church and hold “real” jobs.

Sounds Like a Quaker Church to me. By the way I was brought up Quaker but prefer the traditional Silent Meetings.

Recently moved to Roanoke VA area and have seen several Church of the Brethern buildings and such. I had no idea what they are, thanks for a brief description. I was wondering if they were a fundamentalist cult. No offense intended.

Plymouth Brethren Whew! Fundamentalism with a capital F. No Holy Spirit, just the literal Word beaten into heads with a morality that puts rigid to shame.
