Christian Israelite Church

The Christian Israelite Church was founded in 1822 by the prophet John Wroe.

From 1822 to 1831, the church had its headquarters in the town of Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, United Kingdom, which the church wanted to turn into a "new Jerusalem". Wroe's followers intended to build a wall around the town with four gateways. The wall was never constructed, but the four gatehouses were, as was a printing press. Popular opinion in Ashton-under-Lyne turned against Wroe when he was accused of indecent behaviour in 1831, but the charges were dismissed. The Church spread to Australia and the United States of America, where it is still active. Today there are groups of members meeting in Australia at locations including Sydney City, the Sydney suburb of Windsor, Fitzroy in Melbourne, the Central Coast and Singleton in the Hunter Region of New South Wales. This is just one of these churches, there are thousands of these churches all over the world. Most are independent and go by various names like Shepherd's Chapel in NW Arkansas..

One of his followers was Carl-Friedrich Zimpel, an ambassador for the European countries.

We Believe...

In God Almighty, Creator of all things (Genesis 1:1).

In the existence of Satan, the Devil, in whom God allowed iniquity to be placed (James 2:19; Ezekiel 28:14,15).

That God created a spirit-existence in which the devil manifested evil and caused some of the spirits to rebel against God (Isaiah 14:12-14; Jude 6).

That God created our physical world, to which each person comes with a body and a soul made alive by a spirit from the spiritual creation (Luke 9:55; Genesis 2:7).

That God gave His people instructions on the way they should live, which instructions were "for their good always" (Deuteronomy 6:24).

That all have sinned and come "short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:19).
