The Twelve Tribes Communities are a network of religious communities founded in the 1970s in the United States. They emphasize a lifestyle based on early Christian teachings, communal living, and shared resources. Members often engage in various businesses, including organic farming and crafts, to support their communities. Each community operates independently but shares similar beliefs and practices, including a commitment to simplicity and sustainability. The Twelve Tribes also focus on education, providing their own schools for children, where they teach both academic subjects and their religious values.
