"Why does your family attend a house church?" I get this question fairly often. It is not really about having church in a home. It is more about experiencing and modeling and promoting the biblical principles of...
(1) Kingdom expansion through smaller churches that are more REPRODUCIBLE among all peoples
(2) more thorough discipleship by allowing PARTICIPATION during the church gathering, under the shepherding and oversight of the elders
(3) knowing and LOVING one another more by gathering more like a family and eating the Lord's Supper weekly as a full meal together
(4) STEWARDING financial resources more strategically by giving more to missions.
These principles are easier to apply in house churches. These principles are further explained here if you have 10 minutes to respond to my introductory points about "reproducible churches". Keep in mind that the target audience of this form is Arab believers. If you live in the Kentuckiana area, you are invited to join us any Sunday at 10:30 am. Please pray for our house church and ask God to raise up house church planters in the Middle East.
