Hello , does anyone know anything about the Clear Truth ministry which runs out from Witchitta Texas ? The only thing I can find r videos which I don't ever watch . I must have signed up to them at some point so they keep sending me articles to my e mail . Most of these articles seem ok but I just wondered if any of my American cousins know anything about them . Thank you .

Google knows only of a Clear Truth ministry in Ohio,
so you should steer clear of a possible scam.

I only found the one from Ohio. A quick look at their speakers for a 2026 event tells me their ministry should be avoided.

Their doctrinal statement is biblical.
Their ministry distinctives are extra‑biblical but not anti‑biblical.
Their tone requires discernment.
Clear Truth’s “five distinctives” (theologically‑sound, experientially‑rich, professionally‑excellent, culturally‑engaged, family‑environment)
Sounds like ministry philosophy, not biblical doctrine.

I would test these
Experientially‑rich worship — Scripture commands worship in Spirit and truth (John 4:24), but does not prescribe emotional intensity.
Professionally‑excellent leadership — Scripture emphasizes character over professionalism (1 Timothy 3; Titus 1).
Culturally‑engaged — Scripture commands boldness (Acts 4:29) but warns against quarrelsome activism (2 Timothy 2:24).
Family‑environment — biblical, but vague; depends entirely on execution.
These are not unbiblical, but they are not biblical doctrines. They are strategic choices.
Use caution and as with all things test and question.

Is this the ministry we're talking about here? Their Facebook page shows the same address as Redemption Church in Monclova, OH near Toledo.


They call themselves Clear Truth Churches (plural), so there could be a satellite group in TX that just started. I'm assuming "Witchitta" is Wichita Falls; I can't find a Witchitta or Wichita, TX.

I found this review for Redemption Church on Google Maps:

"I was deeply disappointed to receive mail from this church that promotes messaging rooted in sexism and exclusion rather than compassion or community care. After taking time to look into the organization, I felt concerned by the emphasis on right-wing ideology and influence rather than genuine service, humility, or support for all people. Faith spaces should foster love, accountability, and respect, not division or fear-based messaging. For those seeking an inclusive, ethical, and community-centered place of worship, I would encourage looking elsewhere."​

I watched a couple of their YouTube videos and this is the same impression I got.

Assuming Clear Truth Churches is the same "Clear Truth" mentioned by the OP, here's some information. It was founded by Steven Whitlow, pastor of Redemption Church in Monclova, OH. Two of the speakers lined up for their 2026 conference are Mark Driscoll and Doug Wilson. Two familiar names, but if you don't know who they are you should look them up. It's a network of churches, so their could be one in TX.

I would like to thank everyone for their generosity and time in looking up this group and letting me know what they found out , very kind of u all , thanks so much , I've read each message and taken on board the info ❤️ .
 
What my research turned up was/is very similar to what @ResidentAlien reported in his posts. It seems to be a Wichita Falls, TX "satellite" extension of the Ohio church/group.

I want to say that I remember you mentioning this in a different thread a while back.

My advice - be careful and very discerning - if you don't remember actually initiating contact with them, it might be best if you "opt out" of all communication from/with them - just a suggestion...
 
Their theology is likely based on Seven Mountains Mandate ideas. Driscoll publicly advocates for the movement (along with his other controversies). Other speakers are known political pundits. I wouldn't touch them with someone else's 10-foot pole.
