THIS breakaway sect melds the historic tradition of the Campbell-Stone wings with the strident new blood of social change and the myriad hues of Unitarian Universalism. We recognize the King James Version of The Holy Bible (1611) and are proud to be New Testament Christians, yet paradoxically (to some) we wholly embrace Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindi, agnostics, atheists, the unchurched & unfaith
ful, God's children of all bold backgrounds -- Hispanic, African-American, First Americans and more. Let freedom ring, not only from the highest mountaintop, but from the gold-gilded clouds above. New Testament Christianity is not for the chosen few, or any one people; it is for all. WE ARE the Church of Christ (Reformed, Redeemed, & Rejuvenated), and we are here to serve. "The churches of Christ salute you" (Romans 16:16).*
PROGRESS REPORT:
This fledgling, formative congregation still does not have elders or even a building in which to meet. Currently, we regularly meet in members' homes, in the streets, and at the outer edge of public parking lots in metal folding chairs. It is our fondest hope and dedicated dream to grow with and for the community. "For where two or three are gathered together in my name"...
***Our mission & ministry-focus remains threefold:
1) Animal Rescue. For four years now, our members and volunteers have nightly fed, watered and loved approximately 40 feral cats in the North Combee area. In this endeavor, we are loosely affiliated with the Combee Cat Coalition. GOD BLESS His smallest creatures. God in small things; God in all things. [Update: Proudly and prayerfully, we now provide 20,000 meals annually to the feral cats of the neighborhood].*
2) Children's Stories. Our minister/evangelist Dr. Dave Johnson has cleverly created and crafted "The Animal Apostles: Lost in the Woods." These picture stories tell the tale of eight furry friends who are literally lost in the woods and trying to find their way home with the mighty aid of a little Book they discovered. Religious instruction is appropriate for ages 3-through-7.
3) We still fully sponsor Thomas Paine Memorial College for Redemptive Social Justice, a vanguard online Christian college in Key West, Fla. Non-traditional doctorates available in many fields. davejohnson419.wixsite.com/thomas-paine-college
