Our current house church
Since we began house churching in 2005, it has been challenging. Not just because we have moved 13 times since then and have attended 8 different house churches, but also because these churches have functioned more like a family than a worship service and... as we all know... relationships are messy, challenging, sanctifying..... and worth every minute of it. The primary reasons we model and promote smaller, participatory churches are 1) Kingdom expansion through churches that are more reproducible, 2) more thorough discipleship through participation, 3) knowing & loving one another more thoroughly, and 4) stewarding financial resources more strategically.

Currently, we meet weekly with approximately 15 other adults to eat the Lord's Supper together as a full meal, teach one another from the 5 chapters of the Bible that each of us have studied over the past week, then the men share prayer requests & pray together while the women do the same. We recently met to finalize elders then discuss giving, church discipline, speaking limitations for women, authority, and reproducing another church soon. Sound messy? It is. You are welcome to visit. We alternate between Sunday morning and evening. Pray for our church but also for my Arab brothers with whom I am also having this conversation daily.
I send a few specific prayer requests each week via text or email. Email me at kizfam@gmail.com if you are willing to pray with us.
