Barnabas Ministry Site Information

The Barnabas Ministry was started in 1999 with the idea of helping those involved in a particular church movement. Over time, it has become a resource used by people around the country and the world from many different churches to understand negative church and spiritual experiences. This is the primary goal of the Barnabas Ministry.

A secondary goal of the Barnabas Ministry is to examine various spiritual and cultural topics of interest with a view to exploring ways to better accomplish God's plans in the world today. I hope to stimulate thought and reflection on all of the topics presented.

The Barnabas Ministry takes its name from a man in the early church named Barnabas, who helped Christians in his day deal with difficult church-related situations. You can read more in The Story of Barnabas.
