The Mission Of The RFP
We exist to help and encourage those whose lives have been negatively affected by fundamentalist legalism in the church and challenge those who promote tradition over Scripture.
It’s with this mission in mind that we create this directory of churches.
There is a large group of individuals that legalistic pastors and congregations have negatively impacted. Those who identify with the #RFPFam have suffered spiritual trauma, emotional trauma, and in some cases, physical abuses that leave lasting impressions.
The Fluff List:
This is not a comprehensive list by any means, but here are a few of the things that might get you an “I’m not sure we’re a good fit” email.
- Things like “King James Bible,” “1611”, or “Modern per-versions” are said in almost every sermon (KJVO)
- Going to the “Movie House” has the appearance of evil.
- The word modist would have been better translated as “Letting Down.”
- “Hay-Man!”
- Sanctification is best accomplished while wearing a suit and tie.
- Drums are bad!
Feel free to submit a request, but please understand that the request may be turned down if the church doesn’t quite fit the needs of the RFP community. It’s nothing personal.
