Who we are
Welcome to the website of Rose Creek Village, home to about 285 people, who have come together for no other reason than to live every day in the love and will of God.
We are people who believe that Jesus Christ (whom we refer to by his Hebrew name, Yahshua) is really the Son of God and can really do the things he said he can do: that he can deliver us from the ways of this world and create a love and unity within us so startling that it would cause the world around us to marvel and believe. Over the last fifteen years, beginning in Florida and now here, nestled among the lovely, rolling hills of west Tennessee, we have been delighted to watch him fulfill our belief in ways we never dreamed possible.
“What we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked upon and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of Life...that we declare to you” (1 John 1:1,3).
On this web site, we want to share with you the fruits of simple obedience to God that we have actually experienced. We make no claims to fancy or advanced Bible doctrines, but we do claim that God is faithful, good, and worthy of the everything he demands of those who would be Christ’s disciples.
A correction:
In the latest issue of our Stonehouse Chronicles newspaper, we mistakenly stated that the date for this year's VillageFest cultural arts festival would be September 29th, 2008. Whoops! Our mistake—the correct date is September 27th, 2008.
We sincerely apologize for the confusion.
I was thinking recently about how unfortunate I am to be short when suddenly, I was stricken by a thought: I’m criticizing an image made by God! In an instant, I began to feel happy and to think of all the beautiful people I get to see every day of my life.
Sure, there are loads of little imperfections about myself I’d love to see changed, I thought, but to think that I am a sculpture shaped by the hands of God Himself blows my mind. He made me; just like He made the mountains, the stars, the sky, and the ocean. I am a work of art, shaped and crafted by His loving hands, and those loving hands produce the beauty of the whole earth. For the first time in a long time, I felt okay with simply being me myself—actually not just okay, but excited. Read more...

Joseph Koyei, cultural ambassador for the Maasai people of Kenya, paid us a visit last month for about a week. We enjoyed his visit every bit as much as he did (see below). The Maasai are a respected tribal people famous for their tall warriors. He taught us about Maasai village life, told us about fighting lions (including grabbing one by the tail because to do so is worthy of respect), showed us his scars from doing so, and taught us the best methods for avoiding an attack by rhinoceroses and buffaloes. A few of us are going to get to visit him in late May or early June on our Kenya trip. To learn more about the Maasai people,
