Based on some suggestions from SurvivalBlog readers, the following are several new entries to supplement the list of prepper-friendly churches in the American Redoubt [1] that I already posted. (I’ve just updated the original list.)
Parenthetically, I’m often asked why I place an emphasis on Reformed churches. First and foremost, I believe this is a doctrinally-correct stance. (Your mileage may vary, but the Five Point Calvinist [2] view matches my interpretation of the Bible.) Secondarily, those who hold to a mid-tribulation [3] or post-tribulation eschatological view [4] (as many people in Reformed circles do) tend to be more prone to prepping than those who hold to pre-tribulation rapture eschatology. After all, if someone hopes to be “beamed up” before any End Times wrath occurs, then why should they prepare to provide for their families?
Note: I intentionally used Wikipedia (a secular source) for links to foregoing descriptions of the various eschatological camps. This might seem an odd choice, but I did so because I don’t want to show an absolutist preference for any particular denomination or view. Eschatology is a sticky subject even within various Christian denominations, and I can assure you that it leads to some lively debate!
Here are the latest additions the American Redoubt [1] recommended church list:
Idaho
New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church [5], Idaho Falls
United Reformed Church of Nampa [6], Nampa
Bonners Remnant Church [7], Bonners Ferry (a Saturday Sabbath congregational church)
Montana

Eastern Washington
Covenant Of Grace Protestant Reformed [14], Spokane

Note: There are of course many other good churches, synagogues, and Messianic congregations in the Redoubt States [1] that I haven’t yet listed. You can find many of them with just a bit of time visiting denominational web sites and with search engines. Feel free to e-mail me [16] your suggested additions to the list.
