Fairfax church of Christ, Fairfax, Virginia

We have had the same wonderful pulpit minister for quite a few years. It has been beginning to seem that we are becoming a "Community" church. Our slogan it to "Be God's Church to the community." It is rumored that our pulpit minister earns $140,000/yr -- but "he's very involved in giving." We hired an "executive" minister" just over a year ago (I suspect he earned good money too), but he has been "let go" probably due to the economy. Our congregation has had an electrified choir sitting in the front row for several years. We have a female "Minister" of children's education. The preaching minister refers to the building as the "Church," as in "when we go to Church." The sign out from says "Church of Christ," not "The church of Christ meets here." The "purpose driven Church" is a phrase not uncommonly heard, and could be as referenced by the book, "The purpose driven life." Our female "entertainment and art director" has left, The head church secretary has left, (we still have two working) as have about 300 of the recently approximately 900 members, and the female children's minister is also director of the day school for up to kindergarten kids. It probably has 60 to 100 children five days a week. Several weeks ago (last time we attended there) there was a "Catholic Style) communion held, where row-by-row, members went forward for communion to be served to them by the six-or-so elders -- so we "could better focus on the meaning of communion." We felt it very distracting, and one could see many congregants returning to their seats with their hands folded, just as one is expected to in a Catholic Church. The minister doesn't always "bless" the congregation at dismissal, but does sometimes, and does not say "May" God bless America, but "God bless America," or "God bless us all," as if he's the Pope as has that authority.

We have felt for some time that this congregation is being hijacked and the other members might want to log in here to have a say in their opinion. We just found this sight last week.

...........................THE BOOK

What Happened At the Madison Church of Christ?


There are thousands of churches being taken over across America.

This book is only about one of those churches. It's about the Madison Church Of Christ. By studying the methods used here along with the resource references you might be able to inoculate your church. At the very least you will recognize the signs early on.

Many of the current members of the Madison Church of Christ still don't know what happened.
Some never will know! This book is for them as well.

Madison Church of Christ was a 60 year old church. At one time it was one of the largest churches in the US, and the largest Church of Christ.

It thrived for many years on the vision of it's elders and those of it's ministers. Those visions undoubtably came from the the inspired word of Jesus Christ.

At sometime in the last 10 years there was a deliberate plan by a majority of the elders to take the Madison Church of Christ into a more worldly realm.

They used secrecy, covert planning, and outside sources to scheme and to change the format and direction of the Madison Church of Christ.

The Elders knew that the membership would never approve such a plan. Using the tools of the "Community Church Movement"(consultants, books, seminars, meetings,planters,seeders) they slowly started initiating change so it was never noticed by the members until it was too late.....

At the heart of the plan was the fact that old members were going to be driven off so new techniques could be used to go out and reach the unchurched through new "Contemporary Holy Entertainment" methods developed by the "Community Church Movement"

Old members had to be kept on board long enough to get their plans ready, or the funds would not be there to pay for the new building. So by the plans very nature, it had to be secret.

The church had no plan in effect to renew or approve elders. There was never any need. The elders had always been "as approved by God". 10 of the last 15 elders would begin to shed some doubt on that.

The Elders did not even need a majority at first, because some of the elders went along unwittingly.

This edition starts shortly after some of the members begin to smell something strange in January 2001. Later editions may go back and fill in some of the timeline.

To even start to understand whats happening here, you must read the background materials in the first of the book.

This is only the first edition, and not the end. New editions will be printed as needed. To keep abreast of current changes, please visit our web site; http://www.concernedmembers.com/madison

Here is the list of players;

5 Godly Elders
10 Not so Godly Elders
120 "Deacons" (allegiance unknown)
2,800 - 4,000 church "members"
2 "teners" (people who have publicly confessed to have broken all ten commandments)
Unknown number of "sinners" (This is what the 10 elders call us.)
Unknown number of "demons" (Flying everywhere, to many to count)
