We believe that life in Christ is 24/7 and that all we do is best served growing the Kingdom of God. Through our community, which resembles the early church, we are doing life together in a manner that is inclusive of every need and struggle we face as the Body of Christ. Continual sharpening comes through the work we do together, the breaking of bread, and our worship and praise.
Using the first-century church as our model, we have acquired a large homesteading property in eastern Tennessee, which we are developing into a fully self-sufficient community. As world stability and culture decline, we feel that the Body of Christ is better served in a secure homestead environment, rather than in a large building on main street USA. We invite all Christians to join us in our effort!
An important part of our assignment from the Lord is to house and launch missionaries doing Kingdom work throughout the nation. We wish to participate in delivering the Lord’s light to the darkness, saving as many lives and souls as possible. “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” – Matthew 9:37-38
We love welcoming visitors! They bring new energy to our community and we appreciate the opportunity to learn from each other as we work, worship, share meals and times of relaxation together.
Other ways to connect:
We offer our talents and efforts in every way we can, right up to the end of our lives. No type of work carries privilege or stigma. It is our joy to serve through love in all we do.
We love to share in Godly upbringing and healthy activities that grow a child's creativity, social aptitude, and physical skills. The presence of animals is also always a delight to our children
We believe that the current public education system is not always the best way to raise a child. Many in our community are Christian homeschoolers and we hope to offer private education very soon.
Whether healthy or infirm, young or old, wealthy or poor, everyone's welfare is a priority. As in Acts 2, those less capable are helped by those who are more capable. Meaningful work is available for everyone. We are all working together to build infrastructure that will sustain us in difficult times. Our unity will be our strength as the prophetic scriptures unfold.
A significant portion of our tithes and offerings go to supporting evangelistic missions, bringing light into the darkness, throughout the country. Another portion goes to disaster relief and to individuals in need. Internally, we fill the storehouse for those whom God has entrusted to our care, as scripture commands. We also continually improve and grow our shared community resources.
Each member is ultimately responsible for their own direction and inspiration from God, but we also agree to basic rules promulgated by the community. The community's voting and governance structure was designed to be inclusive and meritocratic. We specifically designed it to avoid personalities that would abuse power or attempt to dominate others.
We believe in the transformative power of faith in Jesus Christ, the authority of Scripture, and the importance of living out our convictions through love and service to others.
We come from all walks of life and from diverse backgrounds but what unites us is our love of Jesus and our committment to obey His voice.
