The Community in Ashland

Ashland, Oregon,

United States

We are forming a community after the pattern of the earliest believers in Acts 2 & 4; surrendering everything to the One who surrendered all for us; by coming together into a common life of love and unity. We have a small group of totally committed people already; and we are looking for those who hate their futile lives in this world, to come into a new life with us in the Kingdom...a Kingdom ruled by love and unity through the power of the Spirit.

Status: Active and determined to grow and reproduce!!

Visitors Accepted

(Please come visit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Visitor Process: Just call us and we will take great joy in hosting you! Please remember, though, that we are a community rooted in the ancient wisdom of the People of YHWH; visitors need to conduct themselves with respect for our Life, faith, and traditions...modesty in dress, chastity outside of marriage, and one man/one woman, faithful, monogamous marriage are the norm here. Please come prepared to respect those boundaries. If you do, you can also expect to enjoy the standards of abundant hospitality common to ancient tribal cultures, after the model of our father Abraham.
