We believe
in living and worshiping in nature, communing with our Mother
Earth and Heavenly Father along with all of their Angels daily.
We also believe in self-sufficiency, sustainability and living
lightly on the land. We want to help the Earth recover and
thrive while we do as a result of living in our true niche as
human beings on this planet. We do not see ourselves as merely
stewards of the Earth, but see the Earth as part of God, and as
such we rightly worship and respect her. We study nature as our
bible study in order to learn the living word of God and feel
that working with and on the land helps reveal this to us. We
believe that in order to fully understand the word of God, we
must take care of our bodies the best way possible.
We believe our bodies are temples and require the freshest, purest
foods and environment possible in order to truly hear and understand
the living word of God. This means growing our own raw vegan food
on our own land in organic orchards and gardens utilizing our
own physical labor and Permaculture techniques as Mother Earth
and her angels guide us. In addition to growing food for ourselves,
we also want to grow excess food so that we can distribute this
highly nutritious fresh food to the poor and nutritionally needy.
The Essene Church of Peace needs acreage to practice our beliefs
fully. The Land Fund has been set up to receive donations for
this purpose. Contributions to the Land Fund are greatly needed
and deeply appreciated. Please contact our liaison’s
office for information about taxes and related matters.
The land will be a place for our orthodox followers and clergy
to live while tending the orchards and gardens within. Daily communions
will be held on the land for our congregation and weekly Sabbath
gatherings with music and dancing will be open to the public.
