Like our weblinks, note that all of these books have their imperfections, and we might not agree 100% with all that the authors say, but each book contains valuable concepts and principals which might contribute toward your understanding of the antichurch - and perhaps either joining or starting one yourself.

...And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God,
who created all things by Jesus Christ...
Ephesians 3:9

...But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world...
1 Corinthians 2:7

...according to the revelation of the mystery,
which was kept secret since the world began...
Romans 16:25

...the mystery which hath been hid from ages
and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints :
To whom God would make known what is the riches
of the glory of this mystery ...
Colossians 1:26

...Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself...
Ephesians 1:9

  ...That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love,
and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge...
Colossians 2:2-3

...And he said unto them, Unto you it is given
to know the mystery of the kingdom of God...
Mark 4:11

...This is a great mystery: but I speak
concerning Christ and the church....
Ephesians 5:32


A note about our identity crisis / multiple urls: Our group and this site originally began under the name theAntiChurch.org (see "Why The Name AntiChurch?"). As an impetus for understanding why we are not part of the institutional church system, this worked well. It also works well for our "how we're different" articles (501c3, tithing, etc). As an actual identity though, it doesn't work well (it's not like we just sit around bashing other churches in our meetings. We hardly discuss others in fact, and we remain open to fellowship with other believers we disagree with on many of the points raised on this site, and even learning from them).

Our meetings are centered around Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of the mystery of the gospel, and so it is from this term that we draw our fellowship's name. However, search engines will "treat us better" (and more people will be reached) if "church" is in the url, so we keep it, as it is a valid "undercurrent" of our identity.

Depending upon the need, this site can be shared using theAntiChurch.org, MysteryFellowship.org, or SpiritualNotReligious.org - which will all bring you to this page. For linking, we prefer that you use theAntiChurch.org

Those interested in finding or starting a Mystery Fellowship (aka AntiChurch) in their area, may visit www.theantichurch.net (launching next)
