Followers (Of Christ),
Anti-Christ rising, Anti-Church rising, whatever....same thing right? Well, no. Anti-Church is not as evil as it sounds, in fact, it is the Anti-Anti-Christ. If you stand with the Anti-Church (the one coming from this Ministry at least), you stand for Christ, and are against that which is Anti-Christ. In the internet war between good and evil, the Anti-Church shall (and has already) prevailed against Anti-Christ, and well, even has against the "gates of hell" already.
Anti-Church? Yes, this is almost a word game. The phrase "Anti-Church" was not developed by us, but we will define it. As you know, this Ministry in it's founding's had the idea of reaching out to all people, to include the elderly, disabled, rural displaced and mobility challenged or those with vehicle use conscience. In time, raise the bar and bring them up on equal terms and treatment as you and others even world wide, leveraging the internet to eventually bring "church" straight into all our devices (smartphones, computers). You might recall how this is "just" a Ministry in it's formulation starts that will do many many things, and then eventually also start a actual Church. That this Ministry will infuse that Church once founded, and project it outward to the world through the internet through this Ministry.
Ok, Do Some Explaining, What Is A "Anti-Church"?
We do not especially like the phrase Anti-Church, but it is sort of cute, so we decided to roll with it for purposes of having fun. Anti-Church, is the idea of remote or "on-line" Church.It is not new, except the ways we will seek to adapt it, where others have left off. The phrase when developed, was meant to to describe "on -line only experiences with no real pastoral or community presence". That is how the phrase "Anti-Church" got going, and is a confusing phrase at that denotes bias by those who re being left behind in the dust who insist "Church" is only a white picket fences with brick buildings and filled with tithing members. The root theory behind Anti-Church is the idea that it is so bland, so electronic, and totally devoid of human interaction that it has nothing to do with people in real life and simply "pushes out" it's communication at you. That the early examples of it some tried, lead people to feel it lacks personal interaction with them or lacks their inputs...so they went overboard and called it "Anti-Church" in context of "anti-people". That however, is not what the Church this Ministry will assist found is about or like.
The actual Church that will spring forth like a water well in the desert from this Ministry. The punfully stated Anti-Church we will create (already has some people ordained), and will feature genuine interactive presences (digitally interactive you can appear on and interactively two way with the church, using your smartphone or computer remotely through the internet) with genuine pastoral presence. Actual communication between people. One way to in portion visualize it, is as a sport of "zoom" Church, with interactive abilities. Some call it "virtual" Church, but we will take it steps farther than. Speaking of steps, if Jesus was the type to confine himself to a Church of 4 walls, why did he preach from boats, mountain tops, porches, and when he was roughly 30 years old, did abut 100 events is "1000 days" recorded in the Bible over a 3 year period throughout the greater Galilee regions? We rather suspect, went actually worldwide during much of his missing years. In almost none of those 1000 days and 100 events,....were things done inside the 4 walls of a church building. Let that sink in, the real works of Christ.....were all outside of the Church buildings.
You want to know one of the most adverse arguments against the form of Church this Ministry will found? Control, orthodox "control". Whereas we say, that is it's strongest point, because so many people of today don't like "overly controlling churches", and in this sense, really don't much care for "organized religion", when so many prefer decentralized and new concepts accepting technology for what it is.
We hold the view, and will elaborate more in future post, that the true meaning of what Jesus built his church on, has been lost to vague, nebulous lack of clarity through the ages. It is not what many large churches in the ages have claimed or thought. "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it"-Matthew:16-18
This Ministry is sort of described as the "media group", that in turn will in turn "carry" or "broadcast" through the internet, the Church to come. The Ministry will still be a non-denominational Ministry and do the Ministry things, yet the church that is coming, will be a separate, yet valid church this Ministry will carry the traditional yet high tech sermons and do all the same functions as regular church you can think of, ranging from Baptisms, marriages, etc.. The main difference to you and your experience...is it will have impressive reach and get into all the hard to find spots where people are,....onto their devices and allow you the flexibile to "attend" just as you are, as you can, through you devices.. It will be a church, that wont stay contained to the insides of 4 walls. Think about this for a minute, did Jesus spend his life staying compressed inside of 4 walls, or did he get out and beyond....indeed travel walk, boat, and appear in many places appearing before many? There is little difference to the Bibles roughly 8 times it speaks of Jesus and the clouds, "And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight."-Acts 1:9 , to cloud sermons broadcast to your devices. Yet at least with the Church to come, you will get to actually interact with it and the Pastor through your device. In Acts 1:9 Jesus was in the clouds, then vanished. You will see us, and be able to actually see us, and actually type with us or speak us, "fighting off the lies that no one cares"...

| Any Church building has a design and planning phase. The Church this Ministry will be building, is not like any Church you have ever imagined before, and not designed or planned like this picture. It is a Church built around, and upon real people, but on a rock. |
