Welcome to Amatheis Church!

Welcome to the virtual front door of Amatheis, where our motto is "Pursuing Happiness Together." One of our core commitments is that you feel a personal joy in the Lord. So, feel free to come and go as you please--whether that be through our virtual services or by coming to our physical location--and rest assured that nobody will judge you or pry into things that are none of our business. Be who you are because that's all you can really do anyway, isn't it? We're an authentic community and we're glad that your journey for life fulfillment has brought you to us!

Take your time and wander through our site and get to know us a bit better. We hope to see you soon!

What Is Amatheis?

This page--still under construction at the writing of this first post--will eventually be a fake church website to be evaluated and critiqued by the Emerging Leaders of Downline Ministries as their final "Celebration of Learning" (test). The unorthodox and ecclesiologically goofy views contained in this blog are--hopefully obviously--not views that are endorsed by Downline Ministries (web | twitter) and/or DL Emerging Leader Director Jason Seville (web | twitter). I (Jason) am the sole developer and writer of this site; so any complaints, confusion, questions should be directed to me and me alone.

If you are an Emerging Leader reviewing this page for your Celebration of Learning, this is the only part of the site that isn't subject to your critique. Everything else apart from this introductory post a part of your test.

Have fun.

(HT: Dr. Mark Young for the phrase "Celebration of Learning" and Dr. Darrell Bock for the inspiration for the practical web-based format of this exam. Neither professor was consulted on this specific site.)
