The small remaining core of Erdmann's community continues to this day.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Love Israel Family |url=http://www.historylink.org/file/9313 |access-date=2021-12-04 |website=www.historylink.org}}</ref>

The Love Family evolved from being a highly concentrated [[communal society]] with a shared economy to what some non-members call a cult with their own laws and ways. The greater community became a social network of autonomous households that interacted through a shared culture they have continued to create together, without the robes and peer-enforced order. Presently, those that continue to claim membership in what remains of the Family are concentrated in homes and lots on the shore of the Columbia River (Lake Roosevelt), where they own the China Bend Winery, just south of Canada.

Remaining family members still maintain they were called together to help each other "[[:wiktionary:cultivate#English: nurture, foster, tend|cultivate]]" love, oneness, and the presence of God in everyday family life. Very little is spoken about the continuing belief that Love Israel is a leader directed through his vision from God. They also believe that their gathering has Biblical roots and that their purpose is to help fulfill directed prophecies to benefit man and the promises of Jesus.

The current members still claim to view themselves as both the spiritual tribe of Israel and the Church of Jesus Christ at Armageddon, where [[Armageddon]] means the time and place of the gathering of God's family. A few family members continue to be renamed (and newborns named) to remind all that each person's character is gifted with a predominant attribute such as Charity, Honor, Honesty, or Contentment that may already be who they are or part of where they need to be.
