COMMUNITY
An Organic Church Community
The American Christian Marketplace Authority is a concept for an organic church community to help God's people reroute their talents and resources.
The American Christian Marketplace Authority is the gathering of individuals, families and small businesses with a Biblical worldview to assemble, fellowship, solve problems, do business with each other, work for each other and take care of each other's needs. The ACMA is a private membership community that exists to worship and serve Jesus Christ and to foster engagement with one another in social and civic activities. It is a set apart community within Colorado.
The goal of the ACMA is to minimize the government in the lives of members while legally circumventing man-made laws that infringe upon God given freedoms. Members interact and covenant with one another for goods and services as they choose (fee, trade/barter, pro bono, etc) and per the membership covenant, the ACMA will mediate any civil disputes that arise, thus, replacing the need for the secular courts. (1 Cor 6:1-8)
Imagine if hundreds of church congregations and thousands of unchurched Christians plug into the ACMA community establishing a massive assembly of believers throughout Colorado! Let's build this!
The ACMA includes a wide-ranging selection of retail, restaurants, and services/skilled trades provided by Individual, Family and Small Business members for other members. A member can be licensed or unlicensed in their area of talent and there is no limit to the number of services a member can offer, you simply have to be able to perform them with enthusiasm and excellence.
Subsequent phases of the ACMA will focus on replacing public and secular options for healthcare, insurance, education, and more with a biblical option, aand with a priority on helping the poor.
"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's multifaceted grace." 1 Peter 4:10
