American Evangelical Christian Churches
- American Evangelical Christian Churches
The American Evangelical Christian Churches is an organization which seeks to enable orthodox evangelical ministers the opportunity to preach without having to adhere to what it perceives as being man-made doctrines of many churches.
It was founded in Chicago in 1944. Any member of the church is required to accept the following six articles of faith:
*the Bible is the written Word of God
*the Virgin Birth
*the deity of Jesus Christ
*salvation through atonement
*that prayer offers a good guidance to the lives of Christians
*the Second Coming.All other beliefs are optional. This specifically includes the dispute regarding free will and predestination.
The organization has had its headquarters in Pineland, Florida since the 1970s. The same city is the site of the group's retreat center and the American Bible College, an associated institution which offers distance education courses.
