Authentic followers of Jesus Christ who oppose Christian nationalism
We follow the teachings of Jesus and not the hate-filled rhetoric of Christian nationalism and American Christianity.
Who We Are
Who are Authentic Christians?
- Disciples of Jesus Christ who are committed to making disciples by sharing His Gospel (good news) in a manner that is ethical and true to the teachings of Jesus. (Mt 28:19-20)
- They love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength and love others the same way they love themselves. (Mk 12:31)
- Everyone knows them by their love and unselfish concern for one another. (John 13:35)
- They demonstrate their love for God by obeying His commandments. (1 John 2:3-5)
- They understand Christianity is not a religion but an eternal relationship with Father God through Jesus Christ His Son. (John 3:16-17)
- They choose to follow the teachings and model of Jesus rather than the religious traditions of man. (Mk 7:8-9)
What We Believe
Authentic Christians model their lives after Jesus.
“We cannot have a true, authentic, Christian community without truth because our relationship with Jesus, the Truth, affects the truthfulness and transparency of our relationship with all others.”
Jon Walker, Costly Grace: A Contemporary View of Bonhoeffer’s The Cost of Discipleship
Our Mission and Vision
In 2020 the Holy Spirit inspired Rev. Carolyn S. Byars to write a treatise "American Christianity vs Authentic Christianity". This eventually developed into a book of sermons and essays titled Is American Christianity Antichrist? The Root Cause of Hate in America and the establishment of Authentic Christian Life Ministry.
Our mission is to provide teaching and guidance that promote spiritual growth and to fully equip and perfect the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to build up the Body of Christ. (Eph. 4:12)
Our vision is to see the Church become a safe and welcoming space for all. We aim to dismantle man-made obstacles (religious traditions, rules, dogma) that distort the spreading of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
