Three points we want people to know upfront about Divorced Church
1) We are against the misuse of power and control in relationships
If your words, actions, and motives are not aligned in Christ-like behaviour or in God's will as we are to respond to each other's needs in spiritual love, then rebuke and correction will be brought to attention and Biblical instruction will be applied within proper and correct context. Manipulating or twisting God's Word to control others for your own selfish ambitions will not be tolerated in Divorced Church. Those who do not abide by Christian love, fellowship, and Christ-like behaviour will be noted or dis-fellow-shipped from Divorced Church according to Ephesians 5:11 and I Corinthians 5:11. We desire peace for all people.
2) SOME Divorce is not sin
When someone divorces because their spouse commits adultery, Divorced Church believes divorce is permitted (Matthew 19:9). We also believe abandonment, idolatry, violence, and abuse are included within the territory of permitted divorce (Malachi 2:16).
3) Divorce does not prevent any believer from preaching, or disqualify them teaching the Gospel (Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15, I Peter 3:15).
How Divorced Church teaches the Gospel
We encourage you to visit our "getting started videos" section located in our menu under resources. This section is a beginner's guide of how we study God's Word and develop workshops which show how we engage in truthful and purposeful Christ-like living. These workshops are not a classroom setting to cram your mind with information you will be tested on at the end of a semester. These studies are to equip each of us to apply God's living Word within our daily life so when the tests arrive we have trained to better withstand the rain, wind, and floodwaters that blow our direction. When we have a firm foundation in Christ, we are strengthened by Him to withstand life's challenges (Matthew 7:24-27).
Here are a few methods Divorced Church uses to teach the Gospel of Christ:
- The Bible; the Gospel and what is contained in the Bible as authority.
- Video resources
- Audio streams
- Charts, maps, and illustrations
- Testimonies
- Greek and Hebrew
- History, timelines, and cultures
- Surveys: to discover where people want to go deeper in their relationship with Christ
Finding Clarity in Chaos
- Jesus is our peace and righteousness.
- We seek wisdom in His Word.
- The truth sets us free.
- Answering questions as we are guided with scripture.
- Seeking God's will.
- Why do bad things happen?
When searching for clarity in chaos thousands of questions are asked and many answers are delivered. Divorced Church strives to guide with scriptures. When the most difficult questions arrive and the answers do not appear to be in complete clarity, human nature tends to lean towards asking the "why" questions. "Why do bad things just happen?" "Why does God not hear me?" "Why do I have no alternatives?" Asking "why" questions can actually misdirect our attention and sometimes take our eyes off our goals. When we allow God's Way to guide us through His Word and we earnestly seek for His will and His goals for our life, we will then see clearly the true meaning as quoted, "the truth will set you free," it will be the beginning of seeing and believing in the true clarity in Christ through all the chaos.

Conclusion
As Jesus’s return draws near, it is certain that evil and deceit will worsen (2 Tim. 3:13), even among those who claim to be Christians. Just as in the days of Noah and Lot—when humanity’s mindset was continually evil (Gen. 6:5)—our world is permeated by rampant pride, self-serving attitudes, and indifference toward the needs of others (Ezekiel 16:48-50). Violence and moral corruption are becoming more commonplace.
As Jesus’s ambassadors, we believe the gathering of believers should be a refuge for persecuted followers of Christ, not a place of added burdens. When one member suffers, the whole body is affected. Therefore, we seek to be a light in the darkness—a refuge for the oppressed and a voice against the strongholds and traditions of men that promote oppression rather than peace. Our hope is to restore hearts and minds with truth, so that those under attack can be healed and equipped to stand firm against evil while abiding in the peace that surpasses understanding.
Every story is as unique as the individuals within it, yet God’s mercy, love, and grace remain steadfast. He has given us evidence of this by sending His Son, Jesus, to pursue us as His bride. We worship a God of redemption. Jesus sought out and healed the marginalized, setting captives free. Being full of grace and truth, we reflect Him when we embody these qualities. However, His grace and compassion do not exist apart from His truth and justice. We passionately strive to protect and care for the wounded while also calling others to repentance.
Because the Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, we seek to be one as well—binding up the broken and providing a trauma-sensitive space for healing and growth. In this antagonistic world, we long to be a place where love and peace abound. While we recognize that God has called us to peace, we also acknowledge the battles we must face. Our aim is to equip the saints with wisdom to fight the good fight in love and righteousness—good shepherds care for the sheep while also warning of danger.
As dedicated Christians who have experienced divorce, it is our honor to encourage and uplift those who have endured separation, are struggling in marriage, or are facing relationships that do not reflect Christ’s love. Equipped to discern the dynamics that lead to abuse and destruction, we earnestly seek to walk alongside those caught in—or recovering from—the “fog” of that war. Whether you are in the trenches, on the battlefield, or a wounded soldier trying to rebuild, we hope to provide a safe place to regain strength and commune with fellow sufferers.
We take seriously the need for leaders to be aware of abusive dynamics, convinced that if churches understood the pathology of power and control, they would overcome the stigma of saying, “‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace,” to fellow believers who suffer daily persecution.
If you are currently in—or exiting—an abusive relationship, you are not alone. You are precious to our Savior and to us. We share your tears and hope to provide a safe community where you can heal and thrive.
