For those who have been unable to find a church home (perhaps because of living in a very remote region, or because your local churches are all too doctrinally astray), I should mention the Children of the Free online church, based in eastern Idaho. Their services are streamed live on Sundays at 8 p.m. Mountain Time. Doctrinally, Pastor Charles Garcia’s virtual home church ministry is similar to that of the late Dr. Gene Scott’s Faith Center church in Glendale, California. He preaches salvation by Grace and Faith alone. Garcia’s focus is exegetical preaching and “Faith in action.” While he has an order of worship that does not begin with prayer and while I recognize some distinct doctrinal differences, I was impressed with the depth of his Biblical scholarship.
