There is a real sense of unity in the ARP Church. There is wide-spread general agreement about the direction the church is going. Those who come into this denomination are often amazed at the peacefulness they find in the ARP Church. We don't have the divisiveness that mars relationships in some other denominations. In fact, we hardly fight at all in our Presbytery or Synod meetings.
Explosions are rare.
It's not that we don't differ or disagree among ourselves about issues. We just do so with a good spirit, without the invective that sometimes marks debates in other church bodies. There is a spirit of respect and civility that is becoming all to uncommon in our society, and indeed, even in church courts. But respect and civility are still part of the ARP Church tradition. We invite your inquiry.
