Responsibilities Of "Members"

You are cordially invited to join this Church by establishing your eligibility for "Level One" Membership.  The requirements for eligibility as a Level One Member are described on this page and the pages linked from the rotating links above.

The "religious beliefs" of this  Church are simple -- "We believe in the existence of God."  There is no further teaching by this Church on this subject -- since we believe that it is up to each person to discover the nature of God by personal observation.

We do NOT invite membership from those who do not believe in the existence of God.

This Church, then, places its emphasis on behavior, not belief.  The behavior we expect of Members has to do with:

• Doing Good Deeds
• Performing Acts Of Compassion

These behaviors are our "outreach" into society, and our fellow man -- these are behaviors that are a requirement for continued Membership in the Church -- there is no "test of faith" in this Church, but there is a "test of behavior."

We do not ask for "pledges" or "promises" of doing good deeds -- rather we ask for submission of documented evidence that a good deed was done.

The same is true of Acts of Compassion -- we do not ask that you do them while we then hope for the best.  Rather, we define such acts with precision and require a minimum of an exact level of performance -- with documented accomplishments that have been or can be published and proclaimed.

• Do you get the idea that this is a "no nonsense" type of Church?  You would be right!
   
• Do you get the idea that this is a church with a "strong set of morals?"  You would be right.
   
• Do you get the idea that each Member MUST demonstrate his knowledge of those moral rules?  You would be right.
   
• Do you get the idea that each Member must do at least some "behaviors" that demonstrate good morals?  You would be right.

There are higher Levels within this Church and the qualification for Membership in any higher Level is an INCREASED amount of the "doing of good deeds" and even more requirement for "acts of compassion." There are other features to higher levels of Membership.  Generally only the NEXT Level is described when you are at some particular Level. Thus, you, here at Level 0, can learn about Level 1.  When you are at Level 1 you can, if you wish, learn about eligibility for Level 2, and decide to become eligible, or not -- your choice.

You can always quit!

The Good Deeds and Acts of Compassion are your "reaching out" to others.  Another part of the eligibility for Level One Membership is your personal self-improvement through successful completion of the electronic interactive courses available free at this Level Zero.  One of the first of these is the electronic course on the Articles of Faith.  (You will first "register" in our Learning Management System that keeps track of your progress through all the many courses available on this web site.)

We think there will be "improvement" for you when you do these courses. The courses at higher Levels are very intense and should lead to very high states of moral behavior as well as personal prosperity.

In other words, the broad public can visit this web site, become interested in joining the Church, and achieve the first Level of formal Membership by accomplishing the required behavior fully set out in the pages linked from this one central page.

The final required behavior to become a formal Member is to help this Church grow in numbers, grow in impact on society, increase the Church's worldly symbols of affluence and finally, to help promote the Church's future.

All of these are explained further on the various links in the rotating links above.
