Concerned Christians, operated by former Mormons Jim & Judy Robertson, is a non-profit organization of Christians who have a desire to reach out in love to the Mormon community with the truth of God's Word, the Holy Bible. Our membership encompasses Christians and former Mormons who have come to know Jesus as the Lord and Savior of their lives. We are "an arm" of the local Christian churches, with no direct affiliation with any certain denomination.

Our sincere intent is to reach out to the Mormon people in a loving manner and to be in service to the Christian community by educating them about the deception of Mormonism and to equip them for service; that they might be an effective tool for God.

Life Line to RLDS Ministries is operated by Carol Hansen, in Independence, Missouri. Carol was a member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS) for forty-eight years. A graduate of the RLDS Graceland College, she was an active and devoted member of the church she loved. However, after accepting the challenge to look objectively at the teachings of Joseph Smith, her staunch defense of the church crumbled. For over twenty years Carol has been involved in various ministries reaching out to Reorganized Latter Day Saints. In January 2000 she published the book Reorganized Latter Day Saint Church: Is it Christian?, which is a wealth of information on the RLDS church. She has also recently established Life Line to RLDS Ministries to provide accurate historical and doctrinal information about the RLDS church. This information is especially for RLDS members who love and want the truth, and for non-members who are willing to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints” (Jude 3).
