Occasionally people inquire about the religious views and/or affiliation of those who sponsor our web sites (The Gospel Way, Home Bible Study Courses, etc.).
These sites are all the primary work of David Pratte. Mr. Pratte is primarily responsible for the contents of the sites and wrote most of the articles, except as otherwise indicated. He is assisted in this work by several other Christians who help in grading the online lessons, etc. Mr. Pratte is a gospel preacher working with the church of Christ in Round Lake Beach, Illinois.
All of us who work with the site consider ourselves to be simply Christians, just like Christians you read about in the New Testament. We have no "Statement of Faith" except the Bible, since it is our only religious authority. We are neither Catholic, Protestant, nor Jewish, nor are we Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses. We believe all modern denominations are unknown to the Bible and are the result of men adding human doctrines to God's word. If people today will simply go back to the Bible and follow only its teachings, we believe we will be simply Christians and members of Jesus' true church, just like Peter, Paul, and other New Testament Christians.
Our web sites contain a number of articles that can help you learn more about basic Bible teachings. To learn more about the church here in Round Lake Beach, you can visit the web site of the church (see the links below). There are many other local congregations across the world that follow God's word as we do. Each one is independent from the others, having no affiliation with any denominational headquarters.
We hope that our sites assist you in your study of God's word, and we encourage you to use our materials toward that end.
