He was on the Brethren Enclyclopedia board and was also an active member of the American Society of Church History, the Brethren Journal Association, the Communcal Studies Association, the Pennsylvania German Society, and many more. Among many other awards, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in 2003 by Juniata College. From 1993 until soon before his death, Durnbaugh served as Juniata's archivist.
