We sense the Lord wants us to plant a house church network in Cornwall! Here are some reasons why we are happy to do it. There are challenges as well, but this post is about the benefits.
“Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.” Colossians 4:15 ESV
- It looks like what we read in scriptures (Philemon 1:2)
- It is easier to start. You don’t need a big budget. You don’t need a budget at all 😀.
- Everyone can participate in the meetings because there are usually less than 12 adults.
- It’s easier to practice unconditional love for one another.
- Leaders are always being trained because new leaders are always needed to lead new house churches.
- It’s easier to train the members to receive and flow in the manifestations of the Holy Spirit because a smaller group is less intimidating.
- It’s easier for friends and neighbors to attend because they already come into the house at other times.
- The children get to participate in the church like they do in a regular family. I believe this helps them engage better.
- The house churches replicate faster. This is one of the strengths of Disciple Making Movements.
Have you participated in a church that meets in the house? Please share your thoughts!
