Narrow Way Christian Community
Chapin, Illinois,
United States
(Telephone: 217-472-3157)
 “Enter ye in at the narrow gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth into life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13 & 14 King James Version
A Christian Celibate Community forming on a 46 acre farm, in central Illinois, 3 houses. Mature Christian celibate men and women, desiring to live the teachings of Jesus, are welcome, as visitors and/or potential members.
“For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep My Sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me; and take hold of My covenant, even unto them will I give in Mine house and within My walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters, I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.” Isaiah 56:4 & 5 King James Version
“There are eunuchs born that way from their mother’s womb, there are eunuchs made so by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves that way for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.” Matthew 19:12 Jerusalem Version
“I would like you to be free from worry. An unmarried man concerns himself with the Lord’s work, because he is trying to please the Lord; but a married man concerns himself with worldly matters, because he wants to please his wife, and so he is pulled in two directions. An unmarried woman or a virgin concerns herself with the Lord’s work, because she wants to be dedicated both in body and spirit; but a married woman concerns herself with worldly matters, because she wants to please her husband. I am saying this because I want to help you. I am not trying to put restrictions on you. Instead, I want you to do what is right and proper, and give yourselves completely to the Lord’s service without any reservation.” I Corinthians 7:32 through 35 Today’s English Version
