Join or Plant a Community
The RAC is not a program. It is not a denomination you subscribe to from a distance. It is a covenant you enter with your body — meaning you show up, you build, and you stay.
You are reading this in the founding window.
No RAC covenant community exists near most of you yet. This is not a weakness of the project — it is the condition of every tradition at its origin. Luther posted the Theses before the Lutheran church existed. Sattler drafted Schleitheim before the Swiss Brethren had a name. You are not being invited to join an existing institution. You are being invited to be among the first to build one, with the full governance canon, theological architecture, and confederation framework already in place.
That is a different kind of invitation. The men who answer it in this window are not members. They are founders.
Why You’re Here
The megachurch gave you a coffee bar and a ten-step program for your best life now. The reformed church gave you a rigorous systematic theology, monthly communion, and no one to call when the world goes sideways. The evangelical church gave you self-help with Bible verses and a worship band calibrated for emotional manipulation. The tradcath pipeline gave you aesthetics, Latin, and a centralized institution that has been negotiating with transhumanists.
None of them built an ark.
You already know what is wrong. You don't need three hundred pages of sociology to confirm it. The fertility rate is collapsing. The institutional church is architecturally compromised. Your boys are being raised without formation and your daughters are being told that a career is their vocation. The men around you have been disarmed — not physically but categorically — by a consumer Christianity that turned the covenant community into a service provider and the man of the house into a customer.
The RAC does not offer you another service. It offers you a covenant — with God, with the men in your community, with the women and children you are responsible to protect and form. A covenant is not a subscription. You cannot unsubscribe when it becomes inconvenient. That is the entire point.
What the RAC provides that no other Protestant denomination currently offers:
The Sword Doctrine
Standing in the direct tradition of Balthasar Hubmaier — executed 1528 for the conviction that Christian faithfulness and the right of community defense are not in contradiction — the RAC holds three contexts:
Lawful Self-Defense against criminal aggression (Luke 22:36). This is not optional. A man who refuses to defend his household has abandoned his covenant responsibility, not demonstrated spiritual virtue.
Strategic Non-Resistance when facing overwhelming tyranny without the infrastructure for effective resistance. There is no glory in suicide. The early church did not defeat Rome with swords. They outlasted Rome by refusing to be Rome.
ADI Just War (Asymmetric Decentralized Insurgency) — when a network of covenant communities possesses the requisite resources and manpower, the right and duty to organize just defense against systematic tyranny, waged as a decentralized insurgency. This is the Hubmaier position. It has not been formally held by any Anabaptist body in five hundred years. The RAC holds it without apology.
The Genesis 24 Protocol
One of the most concrete structural contributions the RAC provides: inter-community marriage facilitation.
Named after Genesis 24 — Abraham sending his servant to find a wife for Isaac from among his own people — the protocol uses the Bishop tier of the episcopal structure to facilitate introduction between marriage-eligible members of different covenant communities. It operates through Presbyter-Patriarchs and Bishops, not through algorithms. It is not a dating app. It is a covenantal architecture designed to rebuild the social infrastructure for early, high-fertility, covenant-community marriage that the secular framework has systematically destroyed.
If your community is too small to generate adequate marriage matches internally — which every new community will be — the confederation architecture exists precisely to solve this. This is what inter-community federation is for.
The Architecture in Full
The RAC operates as Hoppean Anarcho-Capitalist Covenant Communities (HACCC) — voluntary covenant communities of approximately 150 persons (Dunbar-optimal), federated through mutual recognition without coercive centralization. No headquarters. No bishop who can override your Presbyter-Patriarch’s internal governance decisions. No denomination that can compel your community’s submission.
Each community is governed by a Presbyter-Patriarch holding sovereign spiritual and ministerial authority within his community. Bishops hold no administrative authority — only arbitral authority over inter-community disputes, activated by mutual consent. The Archbishop is a figurehead and external diplomat, not a governor.
The No Oaths doctrine (Plank 6) forbids loyalty pledges to any earthly institution — including the RAC itself. This is the constitutional immune system against the institutional totalism that has compromised every major denomination. No RAC leader can demand oath-like submission. The covenant is to Christ alone.
Members may leave at any time. The RAC’s universalist soteriology decouples salvation from membership. The Ban is severe mercy, not damnation. The denomination that traps you is not a covenant. It is a cage. We have built neither.
What Membership Requires
Full doctrinal agreement with the Statement of Faith. Embodied, physical participation in a Covenant Community — there is no remote membership. Submission to the Presbyter-Patriarch’s authority and the three-tiered polity. Adoption of VPM as a religious vocation. Singular allegiance to Christ’s Kingdom — no oaths to any earthly institution.
This is not for everyone. The RAC makes no pretense of being a broad tent. It is a covenant community with a specific confessional and civilizational calling, and it does not soften that calling for the sake of accessibility. The gate is narrow and the requirements are clear. That is the entire design.

Financial Architecture
The RAC’s financial structure is publicly declared and transparent by design.
Commercial tier (current phase): Book publications, podcast subscription services, and associated media production are handled through a standard commercial LLC — the legal structure used by any independent author or media producer. This entity receives commercial income only. It does not receive tithes, offerings, or member donations. The founder works blue collar employment. The commercial LLC is not his primary income.
Denominational tier (as communities form): Community land is held in trust, not founder ownership. Tithing flows to the local Covenant Community for local purposes — community maintenance, mutual aid, and formation resources. There is no upward tithing mechanism routing community contributions to a central fund or to the founder.
The diagnostic distinction: a grift concentrates financial control upward toward the founder. The RAC’s institutional trajectory moves in the opposite direction — from founder-adjacent toward community-governed, from LLC toward land trust. This statement was published before the accusation required it.
