Christian discernment and apologetics ministry with a mission to educate, equip, and evangelize
Watchman Fellowship
Watchman Fellowship is an independent Christian research and apologetics ministry focusing on new religious movements, cults, the occult and the New Age.
We serve the Christian and secular community as a resource for education, counseling, and non-coercive intervention and evangelism training.
As Christians, we believe that “we are our brother’s keeper.” Like the watchman on the wall (Ezekiel 3:17), we have the responsibility to sound a warning against the deception and destructive spiritual abuse practiced by counterfeit groups. In sounding such warning Watchman Fellowship also has a principled commitment to accuracy.
The ministry was founded by David Henke in Columbus, Georgia in 1979. He remains Chairman of the Board and manages the Georgia office. Watchman Fellowship’s home office is in Texas and we also have an office in Pennsylvania.
Often confused with the Watchtower Society title used by the Jehovah’s Witnesses, we are in no way affiliated with them. Our name is taken from the Old Testament book of the Bible, Ezekiel.
“Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you will hear a message from My mouth, and give them warning from Me.” (Ezekiel 33:7)
