House Church Resource
Posted by Chris Norman
A mentor from one of our house churches (David Abbot) pointed me to a resource that helps mission churches like the ones we are establishing at Grace. It is from a ministry called House2House. They write various journals relevant to mission churches and house churches. I want to copy one of their publications here.
There are many great articles in this journal that I think are relevant to what we are trying to get off the ground currently at Grace Gathering. They are very inspiring. You can click here to read the journal.
I was also inspired by an interview taken by one of the editors with a Chinese house church leader. You can click here to read this interview.

Hi Chris,
I came across this blog and then the website for Grace. I was a pastor in traditional churches for about 25 years and have been working in the house church movement for the last 10 years. Tony and Felicity Dale, who lead House2House (which you reference above) are good friends. I’m delighted to see the hybrid model you all are using. I’m curious what has helped you move this direction and if you know of other churches doing this. Most of my work is in connecting and equipping church planters using a non-hybrid model.

Hi John.
Thanks for the comment. We have been researching mission communities like house churches for a little over a year. We piloted 7 house churches for six months last fall and then started about 25 of them a couple months ago. We are brand new in establishing these communities and are very excited about God is doing through them already. We are learning a lot.
Take care and God bless!
Chris
