All About the House Church Model

The Three Axes

The purpose of the House Church is to recover vitality of the first century church’s faith community. The House Church is geared towards witnessing to unbelievers and in so doing, fulfilling the church’s original purpose of “saving the lost and making disciples of Jesus Christ”.

We focus on Sunday Corporate Worship (will), House Church Meeting (emotion), and Bible Study (intellect) to experience healthy maturity in our faith walk.

  1. Weekly House Church (Friday Night)

  2. Weekday Bible Study (Week Night)

  3. Sunday Corporate Worship (H.O.P.E. Church Sunday Service)

The House Church Model

House Church - not a bible study, fellowship, or prayer meeting; this is church

Shepherds - the lay leaders of the House Church (usually a married couple)

VIP (Very Important Person) - unchurched, unbelievers whom we pray for, invite, and lovingly share life with as a House Church

Multiply - When a House Church exceeds 12 people on a consistent basis, that House Church multiplies into 2 House Churches.
