Sometimes Christians get to the point where they say, "I'm done with church," and then drop out of church altogether. This is happening so much nowadays that it has become a social trend. Sometimes the people who do that are called "dechurched," or "church refugees;" but the most common label they are known by is "Dones." Usually Dones are deeply committed Christ-followers who are longing for more than they have found in the traditional church format. Normally Dones aren't wa

"Ecclesiology" is a big word that has a very big sounding definition: "theology as applied to the nature and structure of the Christian Church." However, Christianity began, not as formal church (needing an intellectual course of study), programmed and structured like churches are today.

ONE isn't a book that you just browse through once and then are done with. I've been combing it over for months now, underlining, taking notes, sharing it with others; and I'm still getting so much from it. ONE grabs you and holds your attention. You can go back to it over and over again and continually discover fresh insights, new inspiration, and practical ideas. It's really a house church handbook that helps you understand small home groups, both practically and theologica

There is a mighty movement of God happening around the world in the most unusual places -- people's houses. Why are millions of Christians beginning to meet in homes?

Here's a quote to give you a sample: "While the system of institutional churches of various stripes has been well established, the recovery of the independent assembly in homes, house by house, according to the

"When You Read This Book, You'll Want To Start Your Own House Church!" By Lisa H. April 18, 2017 -- Format: Paperback| Verified Purchase I am not the type to pick up a book and just read. I had heard good things about "ONE" and purchased a copy. It seemed like a lot of book so it took me a few months to finally pick it up. I wasn't disappointed! For someone such as myself who never thought I "knew enough" or had what it took to start a house church or home fellowship, this b

“Consider the fruit of the Spirit; that is what the Christian life should be.” “All believers need to become teachers, shepherds, ministers, and good-news-bearers.” “Try going out of your comfort zone and doing something for someone else.” “It is so easy and effortless for Christians to just join a church and follow its leadership and practices without seeking the Lord for personal discernment.” Believers can search the Scriptures on their own, and allow the Word of God, coin
