Church in its simplest form
There’s a new expression of church springing up throughout our nation. These new, small, simplistic churches are often referred to as house churches or micro churches. In these new emerging churches, people are discovering what church is really all about by firsthand participation and learning how to become reproducing disciples of Jesus. They meet in homes and other venues, and many believe these miniature expressions of the Body of Christ have the potential to revitalize and rapidly expand the church of Jesus Christ.
This seminar tells how these flexible volunteer-led house churches are fully functioning churches in themselves. Led by spiritual fathers and mothers who are constantly training and releasing new leaders, they are outreach focused and have the potential to multiply exponentially.
