2009 National House Church Conference

by Cris Bisch

A growing percentage of the 21st century "church" is returning to the early church model of planting sustainable churches that have far greater impact on the people, the community and their local environments than the mega-church model that continues to this day.

House2House - "Simple church movements are exploding across the country. Barna’s research now shows 9% of the adult population involved within a “house church” environment. Paralleling this extra-ordinary growth is the continued growth of the mega-churches. Over this conference weekend we will explore together the question of what is God doing! Big and small. The Rabbit and The Elephant! When does substantial growth become a movement? How do movements lead to transformation – of the church and of society. What does it look like to pray and expect that “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth” is more than a pious phrase, but God’s intended purpose for His people.

On the Conference Schedule: Neil Cole and Team will lead a Greenhouse – First Story

"The Organic Greenhouse is an intensive training that focuses on missional living resulting in new "organic" churches. An initial “download” if you please, of the philosophy and concepts of organic church planting. It is designed to bring back the organic nature of God’s Kingdom and rediscover what a healthy church ought to be like. This training has influenced tens of thousands around the globe to sow seeds, make disciples, and start churches. Because the training covers the essential beginnings of operating with a missional mindset, it is the First Story. This is not teaching a “model” of house/organic church, but deeper, core principles to frame up the journey of churching a region and joining Jesus in building His Church."
