Secret Church
A-Many Christians around the world gather together at risk of their freedom and lives to worship and learn the Word of God. They gather secretly in countries such as Iran, parts of China, North Korea and many other countries. In many areas, simply having one printed Bible in a village is a luxury, and perhaps forbidden. For many, perhaps even most, gathering together is a hazardous occasion. As such they seek to make the most of their time together. So they meet secretly, in caves, woods and homes…thus “Secret Church.” “Secret Church” is also an opportunity to identify with these Christians in restricted nations who don’t have the opportunity to worship freely. It is a gathering to remember that the true church is not a building, but rather the gathering of the disciples of Jesus Christ. We use “Secret Church” events once or twice a year to identify with, pray for, and in some cases, worship with (via the internet) our brothers and sisters around the world. This year we will be studying what the bible has to say on “Heaven. Hell. The End of the World.” led by David Platt via Simulcast.
