Our Statement of Faith:
We believe that Jesus Christ is the human manifestation of our Creator, and that His Words are the authority for life and living for those who believe in Him. We believe that faith in Jesus is manifested by obedience to His Words, and by living righteously through the power of His Holy Spirit.

Love can only be understood through the irreducible characteristics of God: Holy, Faithful, Just and True.

He has shown you mortal men what is good; and what does the Lord require of you? Be just with others; love mercy for others; and walk in righteousness before Him. Micah 6.8

The purpose of Theophile International Inc., a nonprofit corporation for "religion" is: Teach the Words of Jesus; Do His works (Luke 4.18,19); fellowship with those of like mind and spirit; and, to provide ministerial certification for those who need government-required credentials for ministry in the public sector, for followers of Jesus who understand that His Church is beyond walls, constrained by Love.

Membership Information

Theophile International is a Voluntary Association. Membership in Theophile is for those followers of Jesus Christ who agree with the Statement of Faith and Purpose Statement of Theophile International.

Membership in Theophile International is for followers of Jesus who seek an expression of fellowship that does not follow the doctrines and ecclesiastical system and traditions of churchianity. It is for those who believe their purpose as disciples of Jesus is to be obedient to the Words of Jesus, live righteously by the empowerment of His Holy Spirit, and fulfill our Mandate as recorded in Luke 4.18,19

While Theophile International recognizes that there are specialized ministries that require certification for functioning in governmentally regulated activities and institutions, we do not recognize that ministry, per se, requires special "ordination". We believe that all disciples are ministers and that all ministers are servants. Those who believe that there is a separation between "clergy and laity", and that additional doctrines and submission to ecclesiastical authority are also required, have not found the right fellowship for them in Theophile.

Membership in Theophile International is a statement by each person that we are called to live righteously, living obedient to Jesus' Words. Membership in Theophile entitles each one to vote at the Annual Meeting on all matters relevant to membership. Membership is a statement of support of Theophile, and a promise to support the work of Theophile as God enables.

Members will be invited to participate in fellowship and teaching sessions on the Internet each month.

If any member finds themselves in opposition to the teachings and practices of Theophile International, their only redress is to dissassociate themselves from Theophile International, because this is a Voluntary Association. However, if any officer of Theophile International is known to be living immorally, and is not removed by the Board of Trustees, a vote may be called for on the matter by any member at the Annual Meeting. A two-thirds vote to remove the officer will be required for the removal to be final.

If you are in agreement with these principles, please proceed to the Application for Membership
