Basic g5.6 is about Jesus, faith, hope, and love instead of religion.

Lost, disconnected, empty? Life wasn’t meant to feel this way—it doesn’t have to.

You are not random, not an accident, not a problem, and not unimportant.

“You are *God’s poem**, born on* purpose for good purposes in Christ Jesus.” — Ephesians 2:10

We offer empowering community for living in God’s good purposes. Our goal is to build real faith, not just more religion.

“Empty religion has no power. What matters is real faith that makes you love people.” — Galatians 5:6

Basic G56 is Christ-centered and built on the foundations of Christian faith and church community.

Supportive community for following Jesus—without institutionalism, control hierarchies, or commercialism.
A welcoming environment.
Helpful teaching that includes space for two-way discussion.
Growth in biblical wisdom, wholeness, meaningful relationships, and purpose-filled living.
Faith practices that are relevant to life and positively impactful in the world.
Opportunities to help people in need.
Biblically qualified servant leaders.
Ministry decisions made collectively by prayer and bible study, not dictated by any one person.

If you are looking for this kind of community, we want to partner with you!

Let's connect!

Our mission to support movement from hollowness to wholeness.

We gather to receive and share Christ’s Good News offer of redeemed and abundant life.

Live the purposes of Christian life and Christ’s Church — Connecting people with God and each other.
Build things that matter and last, not things that are empty or short-lived.
Help others by supporting and serving care providers like Waymark foster care, Mission 1:27 community builders, and Encompass food pantry and job skills ministry.

God’s Word guides all we do.

Our “why?” is good.

We have good reasons for believing in Christ. Here is co-founder Robin Redick’s testimony.

Robin and Claire Redick also had good biblical reasons for leaving long-served paid church positions to start and serve this church community without pay.

“The key question is whether you are running from something or pursuing Jesus. If it’s the later, you aren’t leaving the real Church. You just left a building.” — Unknown

“Do not act out of selfish ambition or conceit, but with humility.” — Philippians 2:3

“As I have loved you, love one another. By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples.” — John 13:34-35

God lifts people like eagles. Religion doesn’t.

The Bible holds a a wonderful story about God’s relationship with you — one that Religion often complicates or obscures.

We work to clear the path by providing what many responses to the Focus on the Family broadcast, 'Why Christians Are Leaving the Faith,' reveal as a deep desire—authentic Christianity and shared growth in Christ.

“You go to any ‘church’ and it’s basically the same set up. It is nothing like the first century gathering… The preacher says his sermon it’s all monologue, there is no dialogue, no edifying one another… no building up of one another, no praying for one another… no participation.”

“Where is the one anothering?”

“What we do in ‘church’ today is not in the Bible. I haven’t lost my faith. I have just stepped away from the institutional ’church’.”

“The church… left their first love for multi-million-dollar buildings, high attendance… bringing in as much money as they possibly could. They forgot the gospel…. pushed God out of church for their own greedy desires and they've ended up with beautiful buildings that are dead and no longer changing lives for the Kingdom of God.”

BASIC G5.6 is a one-another community with no trappings of commercial religion.

We offer community, not religious business or stage shows.

You will be treated with respect here.
Seven ways we operate as Christ’s Church instead of commercial religion.

“As you come to Jesus, the living stone… you are living stones being built as a spiritual house, a holy priesthood.” — 1 Peter 2:4-5

“When you come together, each of you has a song, a teaching, a special insight God has given.” — 1 Corinthians 14:26

How our leaders are biblically assessed.
Why none serve for salaried careers.

“As a fellow leader, I urge you. Shepherd whomever God puts into your care, not as a duty or for money but to serve.” — 1 Peter 5:2

“Freely you received; freely give.” — Matt. 10:8

“A lot of people try to get rich from preaching God's message, but we are sincere messengers. In Christ we speak our message, knowing that God is watching us.” — 2 Corinthians 2:17

We are for growth, not perfectionism or legalism.

In Christ, God sees a person’s potential and does not define anyone by past mistakes.

We support growth in the life Christ offers.

Bearing good fruits of strength, goodness, love, and excellence.
Chiseling away thorns like inferiority complex, hate envy, backbiting, deceit, suspicion, and the like.
Living the character and deeds that reveal real faith in Christ.

“Anyone in Christ is a new creation. The old has passed away.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

“He refreshes my life and guides me along right paths.” — Psalm 23:3

“Add to your faith goodness, understanding, self-control, steadfastness, devotion to God, concern for others, and love. Growing in these qualities shows that what you know about Jesus has made your life useful and meaningful.” — 2 Peter 1:5-8

“By their fruit you know them.” — Matt. 7:16

We believe Jesus is willing to meet people where they are and guide them in meaningful lives that benefit others.

In the Basic G5.6 community, you will be seen, heard, and valued while discovering Who God is, What He wants for you, and Why you are valuable to Him and the world.

If you are looking for this, let’s team up and help each other follow Him!

Let’s build each other up in faith, truth and love to elevate excellence and godliness in their homes, friendships, schools, and workplaces.
