Starting A House Church

There's a new way of doing church, and it's taking North America by storm! The growing house-church movement is tapping into the desire of Chrsitians everywhere to meet the needs of their communities in a way traditional churches cannot, offering community and simplicity.

Here, a recognized authority on the house-church movement and a popular pastor and speaker share their expertise in starting and maintaining a healthy house church.

You'll discover:

• How to start your own house church
• Best practice models for planting and leading house churches
• The differences between a small group or cell group and a house church
• Current and future trends in the house-church movement
• How to work together with local, traditional and mega-churches

In these pages, you'll find all the information you need about this new way of "doing church".

"Here is an almost forgotten vision and model of church that was actually the very first and original form of the Church to have entered the West. Floyd and Larry, both healthy apostolic father figures in our time, express here what millions are hearing the Spirit say to the churches. Give a few dozens of copies away to your firends and help spread an immense spark of hope!"

-Wolfgang Simson, editor, Fridayfax, author, Houses that Change the World and Prophetic Intelligence for Apostolic Architecture

"When it comes to the Church today, one size doesn't fit all. Most of us find our church home in a building with a pastor and a congregation. But a rapidly growing number of American believers are moving away from our traditional churches. This excellent book explains why and what can be done about it. I strongly recommend Starting a House Church for anyone who wants to keep up with the times!"

-C. Peter Wagner, presiding apostle, International Coalition of Apostles
