Universal Life Church Chapel Shelbyville

      We are a non-traditional, mobile ministry.  Though Christian, we do not always agree with any one "Christian" theology.  We feel that, as the Bible says you should, "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" (Phillipians 2:12).  It is not for us to Judge you, but for God alone to do that.  We can but Love you as Christ Loved the Church.  We feel that, in the words of a song, the ministries of this world need to stop, "sitting around here fussing with each other, while a lost and dying world is going to Hell." 

       God never said, "Clean up, and get saved."  He said, "Come as you are, without one plea, except that Your Blood was shed for me."   Will you come?

       We will not judge you.  We will not put any requirements on your salvation.  Did He not say, "Whosoever believeth in Me shall be saved"?   Who is powerful enough to call Him a liar?
