The  General Conference Cathar Church, part of the worldwide Assembly of good Christians, is a nondenominational, noncreedal, house-church movement. 

Claiming a diasporal descendant from surviving remnants of the medieval Inquisition 800 years ago,  good Christians today seek  substantive unity among the People of GOD as commanded by Jesus Christ.

Our mission in North America and globally is to reflect and proclaim the transforming love of GOD as revealed in Jesus Christ, discovered in knowledge, affirmed in the Scriptures.   We are empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve GOD in the world while remaining apart.

Christian community 

To be a worshipping,  praying,  and growing community,  sharing and developing our faith and working through its implications in our social context. 

Evangelism 

Our quiet witness shall challenge people to Divine self- knowledge through Christ's way as the Messenger of GOD.

Flexibility 

To be flexible,  creative,  and open to GOD's Spirit in a changing world and Church,   so that the Church is relevant to people's needs.   To release energy for mission rather than to absorb energy for administration. 

Church unity 

To foster networks and relationships with communities of faith and others of evidenced good will having similar goals; even if mutual agreement is not complete.

Inclusiveness  

To operate as a Church in ways that will enable the diversity of people  (e.g. all ages,  all cultures,  all genders, all legitimate humans expressing goodwill)  to participate fully in the whole life of the Church,  especially decision-making and worship whenever practical.

Every member a minister 

To encourage each person to develop his/her full potential by accepting and nurturing each other,  developing skills and providing resources,  challenging and enabling for service in the Church and community.

Cross-cultural awareness 

To become aware of,  and challenged by,  each other's cultures and expression of their humanity, however foreign it may seem to us.

Justice  

To work for justice for any who are oppressed in North America and around the world as relevant,  keeping in mind the implications, rights and responsibilities of the civil authority.   To share our resources with the poor and disadvantaged in North America and beyond. 

Peace 

To be peacemakers between people and in the world. 

Healing 

To listen for hurt and work for healing. 

Ecology 

          To care for the eco-system. While but a pale, and imperfect imitation            of GOD's creation, we should seek to redeem and reclaim it for future           generations as they seek the knowledge of liberation from this world.
