Jesus preached to large groups of people, but also strove to build deeper relationships with his smaller group of twelve apostles. Our House Churches are meant to imitate that smaller group dynamic in order to draw closer to each other, nurture more intimate friendships, and spread the Good News of Jesus. A House Church usually consists of eight to twelve individuals or four to five couples that meet regularly for Bible Study, Prayer, Fellowship, and Community Service. House Churches help foster friendships that are focused on encouragement, confession, and accountability. A House Church is where lasting friendships are made.
