Oklahoma Ozarks, USA
After scouring the Earth for a suitable location we were provided with one thousand acres of pristine land in the foothills of the Ozarks. With winding rivers and green pasture as far as the eye can see, it is indeed a sanctuary to build an ark of Christendom in the midst of a failing nation. To rebuild and revive the church.
Village Model
Our model for an intentional community mixes the best of communal living and private liberties. Shared commons for workshops, agriculture, and utilities lessen the infrastructure burden while enabling members to still own their home & land.
Omni-Denominational
We seek to accommodate all traditions within Christendom so long as we're in agreeance with the historic faith. Our board is comprised of many faith backgrounds working towards unity. Through debate & study we've developed numerous systems to facilitate this.
Outreach
We do not wish to insulate ourselves from the outside world as to hinder our ability to fulfill the great commission. Missionary training, local outreach and online education are a few means we will share the gospel. This is our priority enabled by life together in daily fellowship.
Sustainable & Life Giving
We steward our food and medicine in a holistic way that will not poison the next generation. This is achieved through careful planning & regenerative agricultural practices based on biblical principles. In stark contrast to the world's systems we create life rather than abuse it.
Family Values
We restore traditional family values. No more loose dating, divorce culture or gender confusion. We will equip the next generation for proper courtship & create men that lead not cower and women that help not hinder. All with love and respect.
Generational Goals
We want to ensure the community grows into the future. This means creating schools to train up well rounded individuals in both theology & trade skills. Giving them opportunity to start families, build homes and someday expand into new lands. Perpetuating our church model.
Private & Safe Technology
We have expertise to create our own internet infrastructure that greatly reduces exposure to online addictions while increasing privacy & reducing costs. Big tech won't be controlling our children's minds or our wallets.
Gamification
Life should be fun but work must be done. Less desirable tasks may award points redeemable for screen time for children or a date night out for the adults. This helps break up the monotony of life and benefits those who benefit the community beyond their own work and private life.
Reduced Barriers
We do not want economic status to hinder a fellow follower of Christ from becoming a member. We offer several ways to join rich or poor. However we have systems to weed out freeloading investors and bums alike. If you don't work you don't eat. Those who do are always welcome.

Collectively we're servants of Jesus Christ and to each other with the shared goals of expanding the kingdom of heaven to new frontiers.
