Our Current Members

Although we are celibate and do not marry or bear children, we take great care of the young ones in our community. We educate all our children in math, reading, and writing, and teach them the writings of God. Alongside those academic skills, we teach our children practical work such as harvesting, tending to animals, needlework, and cooking, to prepare them for a lifetime of serving our Lord.

Seventy-five years before the emancipation of the slaves and one hundred fifty years before women began voting in America, we were practicing social, sexual, economic, and spiritual equality for all members. Men and women hold equal power in positions of religious, political, or economic power; our society is the most progressive in terms of social progressiveness. We do not discriminate against Native or African people because all of God’s children were created equal.

We aren’t greedy or materialistic, but we strive towards perfection. Hard work is the only way to be restored to God, and we work hard every day in our community. Our gardens, furniture, and villages are renowned for their invaluable craftsmanship, and we produce our goods at such a rate to accommodate both those who are willing to pay and those who are unable. We, like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, believe everybody deserves a chance.
