Original titleThe Church Comes Home
In our modern dislocated society many are searching for a church experience that offers true Christian sharing, nurturing, and discipleship, in addition to teaching and worship. For many such people the answer is found in the home church: a small, committed group of often diverse people who meet together in homes to pray, eat, sing, study, and share their lives."The Church Comes Home" is a handbook for those interested in home churches. It is both visionary and practical. It describes how home churches can be formed, how they should grow, and how networks of home churches can develop. It examines issues" for example, how to make decisions; how to determine doctrine; how to include children, singles, elders; and how to reach out to the community at large" and offers practical suggestions for their resolution.
