What I Learned at ACU Summit

As we were taking classes this past week at the ACU Summit, I was also doing a lot of reading. I find it helpful and even refreshing that these questions that we have been addressing for the last 18 months or so are also weighing on the minds and hearts of other believers.

Here are some results of what 'house churches' bring a community of faith that statistics reveal are different from that of the 'traditional church'.

1. Community members stop doing church and start being church

2. Church touches all of life and be 'holistic'

3. The house church model...ends the money problem

4. And the leadership problem

5. And the building problem

6. House churches bring a new quality of conversions

7. They redefiner the mission of the Church

8. Create church members who are doing less acting and more acting

9. Excitement levels rise

I believe all of these are AWESOME things to consider. This Sunday, I plan to survey what the New Testament has to say about the role of houses in the early Church - so BRING YOUR BIBLE!
