LaPorte Church of Christ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LaPorte Church of Christ is an independent church in Laporte, Colorado, led by Pastor Peter J. Peters, who proclaims that Europeans comprise the ten lost tribes of Israel and that contemporary Jews are satanic impostors, the descendants of the Biblical Esau -- the brother and nemesis of Jacob (Israel). Critics have labeled his message to be that of Christian Identity[1], although he rejects this label[2]. Peters and his church are not associated with the decentralized group of churches who use the name "Churches of Christ".
