Pincher Creek Hutterite Bruderhof, of the Dariusleut, located at Pincher Creek, Alberta, was founded in 1927[1] by members of the Raley Brotherhood. Their preacher Jacob Hofer was chosen in 1924 by the Raley Bruderhof, and with several families from this Bruderhof founded Pincher Creek. Paul Gross was chosen preacher here. In 1950 this Bruderhof had 85 souls, including 30 baptized members.
