When we read about the development of the early church in the New Testament, community is a repeated theme. Believers regularly gathered in homes for discipleship where they became deeply connected with one another in a trusted community of faith. House Churches are designed to model that example, providing a weekly gathering space where anyone can join at anytime to share a meal, pray, and dig deeper into scripture together.
House Churches meet across south Mississippi weekly on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. with the exception of a designated rest week once every month. We encourage you to find the House Church in closest proximity to where you live and try it first. Once you find the right fit, make a commitment and begin investing in community.
SCRIPTURALLY-BASED
During House Church, the House Church Pastor will guide members through a deeper dive into the previous Sunday’s message, teaching, and scripture. The goal for anyone participating in a House Church is transformation which requires personal application, enabling people to process and integrate the timeless truths of the Bible into their lives.
GEOGRAPHICALLY-BASED
House Churches are geographically-based. We want people to live in deep, intimate community with others who live on their street, in their neighborhood, or in the same town. People who live in close proximity are more likely to regularly attend a House Church, engage outside of weekly House Church gatherings, and experience genuine community. We want House Churches to be scattered throughout our communities with neighbors bringing neighbors to House Church.
DIVERSE
House Churches are cross-generational. A House Church looks more like a family rather than a group of friends experiencing the same stage of life. We have a deep desire for children to see their parents reading the Bible, discussing scripture, praying together, serving alongside others, and being in community with others in the church. Cross-generational communities represented the makeup of the early church. Likewise, a House Church is made up of people representing different socio-economic levels, cultures, and races. Above all human differences, Christ is exalted as the common bond for all relationships within the church.
