Jesus Christians
Christian millennialist network
For the broad term for followers of Christianity, see Christians.
Not to be confused with Jesus freak.
The Jesus Christians are a Christianmillennialist network of intentional communities[1][2] with groups on six continents.[3]
History and controversy
[edit]They were founded in Australia in 1981 by Dave and Cherry McKay, and have a three-decade-long history of controversy documented extensively by the media.[4] Their core beliefs are based on the teachings of Jesus[5] with special emphasis on his decree from the Sermon on the Mount, that his followers "cannot serve both God and money".[6][7]
While they are often involved in volunteering and political activism[8][9] their principal activity is evangelism, which they accomplish through the distribution of self-produced comics,[10] books,[11] pamphlets, and DVDs, and via videos published on YouTube and other social media. The majority of their publications are written by their co-founder, Dave McKay.[12][13] The videos on their YouTube channel, A Voice in the Desert, were originally narrated by Dave McKay, but have since been narrated

Dr. Joseph Johnson was raised in the Baptist tradition, but much of his formative years were in nondenominational and charismatic circles. After entering Bible college, he concentrated in church history, and spent some time among Jewish Christians due to an interest in the relationship between the church and synagogue. Having discovered Reformed theology in seminary, he joined the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church and after seven years as a student of theology, he accepted a call to an independent, Presbyterian church as the minister. After leading this parish into the Evangelical Presbyterian Church for four and a half years, he resigned his position for financial reasons. His liturgical studies, particularly the sacraments, CS Lewis and GK Chesterton, as well as John Henry Newman and John Calvin, led him to seek full communion with the Catholic Church, into which he was received at the Easter vigil in 2013. He completed a Master of Arts in Theological Studies (1999) and Master of Divinity (2004) from Erskine Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Education (2014) from Liberty University. He currently lives in Greenwood, SC with his wife and two children, where he serves as pastoral associate to the priest at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church. – Eds.
