BEGINNING A LOCAL CHURCH
We must start churches that meet the requirements of God. We need faithful, clean couples, not men with defiled wives, to be able to serve as officers in the church. Since we are in the apostasy, it is even hard to find a church that can meet the requirements.

Overseers needed:

Deacons needed: See above.
