Christmas Update From Whitleyville Reformation Church

God has greatly blessed our work in Tennessee, and we have continued to grow. I have done more baptisms this year than any year prior, and families continue to move to the area to be part of what we are doing: participating in a small way in the rebuilding of Christendom. We are growing at a pace where more space will soon become a necessity.

We are not a megachurch. We are not selling a religious product to be easily consumed by the masses, especially in more affluent and populated parts of the country. Nor are we operating within the confines of a large, well-situated denomination that will support the expense of building a new church—but with strings attached. We don’t have the support of massive institutions or legacy endowments, nor do we want it. We want to do something entirely different, something much more difficult.

I have often written about the failures of our Christian institutions in guarding our doctrine and people from becoming beholden to the spirit of the age. Were we to be part of a large denomination, the expenses required to grow and build a new church would be provided for, but the latent wokeness and contemporary pieties (of the type not found in the Bible or Christian tradition) we would be required to submit to.

What the church at large needs is institutions that are prophetic, in the full biblical sense of that word. A “prophet” in modern parlance is merely someone who predicts the future, but in scripture is much, much more than that. A prophet stands outside the people—and with God—announcing God’s Word, correcting and rebuking the people. He does not say “nice” things, but he says true things that need to be said. The most powerful Christian institutions and denominations today are far more interested in saying only “nice” things and even “nice” untruths than ever saying a not-nice, true thing.

We aim to change that. We are changing that.

We seek to show the world that you can have a church that is faithful in its doctrine and practice that is not enslaved to the expectations of a culture that increasingly hates the Lord Jesus. One that will unashamedly speak the truth from God’s Word and never back down from it. To have an entire community operating within this frame: let God be true and every man a liar (Rom. 3:4).

To that end, we are asking for help. It is the end of the year, the time when many are planning out their giving for 2025. If you find what we are doing to be valuable, if you see hope for the future of Christendom in our efforts, if you want something to succeed outside of wokified denominations, and/or if you’d rather your income go to us than be taxed and later laundered to Al-Shabab in Somalia, please consider donating here.

If you give $50 or more, we will reach out for your mailing address so that we can send you a copy of my new hardbound edition of The Boniface Option, with a message of your choice. All your gifts are tax-deductible. Please email the church (contact@whitleyvillechurch.com if you’d rather give in some other way).

Thank You and Merry Christmas!

Pastor Andrew Isker
