We believe that Jesus will come again, but we have no idea about the date and time (Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32-37). Our eschatology (study of end times) emphasizes that when Jesus comes to receive his bride, the church, all things of this world will end, and those who have believed on Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord will live with Him eternally.

Our view of the Kingdom of God is that it is a present reality. We believe that when Jesus came to earth, he launched his kingdom (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; 10:7; Luke 17:20-26), and his kingdom is in the hearts of men and women who give him their allegiance.

We are aware of the diligent study by many premillennial scholars and the optimism of postmillennial Christians; however, we are amillennial. In our study of the Bible, we do not discover any teaching about an earthly reign of Christ in a governmental or military sense. Scriptures speak of last things in figurative language (Revelation 20), and we believe they often refer to spiritual rather than temporal realities. We find little doctrinal compatibility with groups who see the establishment and success of the nation of Israel as essential to God's plan (Romans 2:28-29; Galatians 3:26-28).

Teachings which try to set dates for the expected return of Christ, to identify natural and other phenomena as indications of the imminent appearance of Christ, and to recognize contemporary historical personages as embodiments of the anti-Christ are foreign to our understanding of scripture. With persons who feel strongly about these points of view, we agree to disagree and explore other ways of experiencing and expressing our oneness in Christ.
