Shepherds of the West

The Shepherds of the West is a Christian-based spiritual group pursuing faith, fellowship, and communion with a clear ulterior goal of at some point establishing a real life, physical, theistic community alongside our digital one. This is so we can live in the ways our Lord and God wanted; in a spiritual & communal way of living where one can experience life, find family and friends, or discover a deeper faith in a place morally and spiritually in tune w/ their beliefs while loving and sacrificing for one another within the community.

We will be doing prayer sessions, studying theology, practicing apologia, and Bible studies for our Christian members. Beyond this we’ll do other community based things as well, on top of being open to suggestions from members.

Only other genuine theist will be allowed into the group; people of the book (abrahamic religions) and other spiritualities (Eastern, pagan, tribal, etc.) will be granted entry if of a good nature and Christians of all denominations are encouraged to join. This is a Christian-based group so respect should be shown regarding our different faiths, keep in mind this is a community for fellowship not debate, but civil conversation regarding religion is fine.

For those interested we’ll also be discussing the strategy and methods we can take to establish a intentional community be it off grid or simply rural. We’ll be hosting IRL events where those truly interested in creating a community can get to know one another. This aspiration will most likely take a number of years, we have a potential location secured so we hope to have a thriving internet community well before having a many people actively living at the location.
