House Church Values & Practices: Proposal Six

Home-centered Congregational Life 
We are dedicated to having the activities of our congregation such as bible studies, mission outreach, prayer gatherings, agape meals, and worship gatherings to be located in our homes. We believe this home model to be the most biblically faithful, public setting to represent our new identity as brothers and sisters in the Messiah, both to each other and also to the lost world around us.
       As a sacred fellowship in Jesus we want the burden of being the presence of Christ in our city to fall upon us as His people, and we don’t want to be tempted to relegate that privilege to an autonomous church building. In this way we’ll be closely connected to a flexible structure that can be easily replicated for the planting of other congregations. Additionally, this will also free-up financial giving to be bestowed to others outside ourselves.
     Most importantly, it will hopefully aid us to constantly live in the awareness of our daily need for God’s sovereign grace.
