The Biblical PATTERN
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.
Matthew 18:20
Embedded Files
Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
1 Corinthians 16:19
A CHURCH TO CALL HOME
AND A HOME TO CALL CHURCH
A CHURCH TO CALL HOME
AND A HOME TO CALL CHURCH
While every Bible-believing denomination and Christ-centered community serves a God-given purpose in the Kingdom, we too-often overlook the Scriptural pattern of Church-life as it existed in the First Century, with husbands and wives leading their households in prayer, worship, and instruction.
The basic unit of the Church's life is, and has always been, the Christian family. In this season of revelation, rejuvenation, and revival, God is calling each of His children to return to a simpler time, when men and women led communities of
faith from within their homes.
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Acts 2:46-47

Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.

To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker — also to Apphia our sister and Archippus
our fellow soldier—and to the church that meets in your home.
Philemon 1:1-2
Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching
and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

WHERE ANCIENT WISDOM MEETS MODERN PRACTICE
WHERE ANCIENT WISDOM MEETS MODERN PRACTICE
The Church which meets in the home meets there daily.
The children who are raised in that home are sent out into the world in the love of Christ daily.
The husband and wife who care for family and friends in that home grow the Church there daily.
The Christian Faith is both private and public.
We meet with others in public to spread the Gospel Message of truth and redemption.
We meet with one another privately for fellowship in our homes, sharing in the Lord's Supper and partaking in the Word of God.
The Christian life is a daily commitment, not just an activity for Sundays.
