House Churches
Why House Churches?
The early church met in house churches and we believe that Biblical model is still effective today for these reasons:
Simple Structure
Sustainable
Replicable
Discipleship Focussed
House churches provide an intimate setting for members to holistically develop deep relationships, accountability, and maturity. (Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 12:12, Titus 3:5, 2 Peter 1:1-4).
Purpose of the Body
In a healthy family there is a lot of love, Godly values, and enough intentionality to train children to the point where they can grow up and start their own families. Our goal is to live in community with each other working together to raise up new believers into Godly character and obedience to the commands of Jesus. From among those in the community that are mature and biblically qualified; we are training up overseers that can effectively train several generations of mature disciples that can then themselves train up more disciples.

We want to create a safe space for members to apply what is being taught and to grow and mature in Spiritual Gifts based on 1 Corinthians 14.
Do Life Together
We believe that Jesus meant for the Kingdom of God to change every aspect of our lives.
