Secret Church
Due to hostility from the government, from the surrounding community, and even from their own families, many of our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world are forced to gather in secret, sometimes at the risk of their lives. With few opportunities to gather and little access to biblical teaching, our persecuted brothers and sisters may meet for eight to twelve hours at a time simply to sing, pray, and study God’s Word. This God-centered focus is a helpful corrective to the desire for entertainment that characterizes many church gatherings in the U.S.Encouraged by our persecuted brothers and sisters’ example, each year, we gather for over 6 hours of intense study of God's Word and passionate prayer for the persecuted led by pastor, teacher, and author David Platt.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The gospel is not simply one aspect of what Christians believe. The gospel is the lens through which we see everything else. Therefore, we must understand the gospel before we can understand what God's Word says about government and how those truths affect us.
Secret Church happens once a year, inspired by believers who gather at great cost. On April 17, over 50,000 believers from around the world will come together online to study the life of Elijah, pray for persecuted Christians and act together to make Jesus known among unreached places in the world. If you're able, we hope you join us. Register at radical.net/secretchurch.
