A Glimpse at Our Approach, Our Culture, and Our People.

We are omni-denominational, which means that our elders will accommodate the household convictions of every male head in the community regarding their family's practices as it pertains to baptism, communion, and other sacraments as well others non-essential matters (hence we will baptize or commune your children based on your beliefs on that subject). In our system, the elders are in charge of all matters pertaining to the ministry and heads of households meet to decide on all other matters with checks and balances between the two. Though men will own their own house and lot, all communal agriculture, recreational land, food, activities, and utilities are owned in-common by the church. Only those who join the church can be offered to buy a lot in our community, but you can also join our church without canceling your previous membership so long as you agree to attend at least one of our offered worship services, to commune with us there, and to attend at least one of our weekly studies.

We have in our current membership: Baptists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Lutherans, Anglicans, Eastern Orthodox, and Anabaptists and we are all brothers who are deeply dedicated to each other and the project. We hold together the common creed (Nicene Creed) and the authority of Scripture and traditional biblical morality and we offer multiple worship services to accommodate different worship styles (we have liturgical services which are basically catholic masses replete with robes, incense and chants, and we also have contemporary worship services with electric guitars and drums like you see at most evangelical and pentecostal services, as well as traditional hymn and psalm based services as you would see among conservative presbyterians and baptists). We encourage all to worship at each other’s services and to discuss differences and be open to change without getting all butt-hurt.

Now, in spite of our unity and accommodation, we do have real disagreements: We have trumpsters, theocrats, libertarians, pacifists, and white-nationalists and everything in-between, we have people who believe the earth is flat and space is fake along with those who want to colonize Mars for Jesus. We have guys who don't own a television and want to go back to horse and buggy, and those who are on the cutting edge of Artificial Intelligence and Crypto development. We have mixed-race couples, and couples who oppose race-mixing, we have those who believe the end is near, Satan is taking over, and that Jesus is coming back soon, and we also have those who believe that the Gospel is taking over the whole world and that the Church will one day triumph with a global Christian empire before our King returns. Some baptize babies, some only baptize only those who profess faith, some commune their babies, some only commune those who profess faith, some believe marriage is a covenant, others believe matrimony is a sacrament, some speak in tongues and interpret dreams, others believe such ceased with the apostles, some have pictures of Jesus and the apostles in their homes, others prefer to not even display a cross in their bedroom. Some use medical marijuana to help them relax and others won’t even drink a coffee to get woke up. Our differences as a community and a church are what gives us real strength and everyone is expected to love and respect each other’s household convictions on all such that are non-essential to salvation.

In spite of such a spectrum, We are nearly all men who have lost their jobs, lost their family, been defrocked, deported, arrested, jailed, demoted, black-listed, marginalized, isolated, and humiliated for following our faith and we don't have time for those who wish to float by as normies in this current babylonian system or would seek to divide sincere believers on behalf of old institutional loyalties or secondary and non-essential differences. We will work together with strict Mennonite midwives and grocers in our area to help friends find a home or place to give birth, or with pot-smoking Rastafarians in the Caribbean to scope out a remote property or nab a copy of an Ethiopian Orthodox bible and we will not hesitate to rebuke a brother who is abusing his liberty, his wife, or the Lord's NAME. We are creating a Jesus Empire, fighting in the next reformation, and serving in the next revival and we are willing to suffer and die for this cause.

Half the women in our group wear head-coverings and dresses all the time (even if some of them also have tattoos and smoke cigarettes) and at least as many of us think birth control is evil and either have or want big families, and though some would label us as prudes for our views of modesty and adherence to the sexual ethics of old testament law, we are also very open about the joy and liberty of the various marital pleasures God permits to us and strongly encourage our married couples to grow in that area and maintain a healthy and robust sex-life. We are dedicated to restoring the patriarchal values of ancient Christendom and will go to the ends of the earth to make that happen, especially for young couples starting out with us, but we also seek to avoid the pitfalls of legalism and repression of past generations. We are building a community where every man and woman is married as a virgin, but also recognize that it is part of life that we come of age, find a spouse, mate, and reproduce and this is not some hidden truth, but a reality we embrace. Straight men like straight women and they typically don’t like them fat, with a butch cut and face tats, but great tits, a nice figure, long hair, and a fun but ultimately submissive personality who will keep their stomachs full and balls empty. Straight women want men who are dominant and confident without being tyrannical jerks who will protect, provide, and care for them without letting themselves go into having a beer gut and no ambition, who do manly things, but will always save time for them and aren’t afraid to help change a diaper or rock a baby asleep. We recognize this and embrace it and want our women to be feminine and attractive for men and men to be masculine and attractive to women and where every married man and woman is always sexually satisfied and we aren’t ashamed to discuss this openly. We want happy and fruitful marriages and a village FULL of children who are free to roam unattended but who will also get their butts whooped for disobedience and sinful behavior and who are being raised to be both skilled and scholarly, but most of all, holy before God and wholly devoted to their families, church, and village.

We worship together nearly every time we get together and do regular bible studies and are always debating scripture and theology in pursuit of becoming more like Jesus Christ and we do so both online and in-person as we endeavor to gather, even from thousands of miles apart, in person several times a year and we view it as an always-worthy expense for the sake of real fellowship. We are the kind of Christians that will actually pursue those who go wayward, even if it means spending our last $300 bucks on a plane ticket to go and weep with a brother or help him move out of a bad situation halfway across the continent, whatever it takes, whatever the cost, we will help, love, and serve one another and the proof is the pudding and we will put our money where our mouth is, for faith without works is dead. This is also why we offer the work exchange (a young family can get their home and lot for free in exchange for working to build homes in the community) and this also why all of our education, utilities, events, tech programs and resources, food, clothes, and even tools are FREE and available to all who are part of our group and who work alongside us in maintaining our village, for at the end of the day, this alone is the RIGHT way Christ would have us do it. Likewise, if someone is unrepentant, wicked, and refuses to be restored, they will be excommunicated, barred from table-fellowship and shunned by all with all communication cut off from them. If a woman runs off away from her husband with his children in violation of Holy Scripture, we will endeavor to pressure them within all the legal means at our disposal to bring them back to repent and be restored, or else to experience real-life (yet technically legal) consequences for their behavior, for even if the government will not honor marriage and protect it, we will. The church still has teeth if only they would bare them against the world.

I don't know if I have painted a picture yet, but to be clear, we are no BS and no messing-around about our faith and with the help of the LORD we plan on starting Jesus Villages all over the place, but especially in the places we have scoped out like Appalachia, the Ozarks, and the Caribbean, where we can get away from regulations, cities, and can be free to live our faith, govern ourselves, grow our own food and medicine, and be self-sufficient. In just the last year we cut through rainforests with machetes, went off-roading in remote desert steppes, trekked across the Great Plains, and hiked nearly every prominent mountain range in America, scoping properties, negotiating with millionaires, and sharing house and home with those with none to go to. We are getting more applications than we can reasonably process and so this article is absolutely intended to scare you away in the event you are just dabbling or playing around with us. We want quality over quantity when it comes to Christian men. We want men who won't get offended easily, are open-minded, and ready to jump in and get dirty when we are butchering the hogs, rebuilding a Chevy small-block, or digging out an old septic tank clogged with 10 year old shit-sauce while arguing about predestination or the apocrypha.

You should know that we are looking for serious and committed people, those who are hardcore about living the words of Christ, giving all that they have for their brethren, to open their homes and their hearts, to share their stuff and their struggles, and who are willing to suffer and be persecuted, to stand up and stand out, and to rough-it. We want men who are humble enough to learn new skills, work with their hands, and love those with whom they disagree, but who are also confident enough to debate passionately their disagreements, to govern their own wife and children with authority, to resist unjust authorities of this present system, and to take real risks for their faith and for the love and care of others, even if it only means sitting down at their computer for a couple hours to write a defense of the project and of our common faith.

We don't want wishy-washy and judgmental prudes and sticks in the mud either. We are hard dudes, tech bros and tradesman (the fisherman) who are unapologetically rough around the edges: we like to have bon-fires where we will drink beers, share smokes, shoot guns, sing shanties and dance jigs. Many of our guys have been known to use colorful language, and we love debating conspiracies and telling politically incorrect jokes and often we just like to get together for some Karaoke, or a game or movie night. Don’t feel comfortable drinking beer? Then don’t drink it. Don’t feel comfortable doing a duet with another dude singing a Led Zepplin song? Then don’t sing it. Don’t think it’s appropriate to stay late and watch the Terminator or binge some Japanese anime? Then don’t watch it. Don’t approve of D&D, Texas Hold’em, MarioKart, or a Halo multi-player match? Then don’t play it. We won’t force you or shame you, but don’t think its gonna fly if you decide to be judgmental with us about it either. We will respect your liberty and you will respect ours and if you think we are wrong, then you can convince us through biblical, rational, and historical argumentation as in any other case of disagreement.

Be warned, our group is not for the faint of heart, we are warm and hospitable, but with that comes the reality that nothing is off-limits or off the table, If you are hiding sin or evil intent, you will be exposed eventually. You cannot hide for long in a REAL community with REAL fellowship. You will get to know us intimately, our sins and struggles will be shared with you, and yours will be shared with us. Your true self will be known and you will be pressured by others to become more like Jesus and His Apostles. You will be healthier, holier, and harder. You will learn more Scripture, theology, church history, philosophy, computer tech, nutrition science, herbal and natural remedies, permaculture principles, construction skills and trades, artisanal crafts, and lost arts than you could have otherwise, and you WILL walk away a changed person.
