Meetings: open or programmed?
KEY QUESTION: If God wants to speak strongly to your church next week through Joe or Jane Nobody, will He be able to do it? ... If not, then you've slapped handcuffs onto the Holy Spirit. You've blocked Him from using 95% of His resources. Your church has usurped His authority and "put a covering" over the head of Christ.
Generally with programs God is only able to work through 2-5% of the people with their limited gifts. We need gatherings where He can use 100% of the people.

We've got to set His people free. He wants His church back!

Something is happening across Britain today: a new kind of church is beginning to appear; increasing numbers of christians (recent research suggests between 40 & 100,000) are starting to gather in homes, colleges and work places. Living out a 24-7 faith, they are missionally focused with a 'go to them' dynamic instead of a 'come to us' invitation. These communities are small, fluid, organic, reproducible and most of all simple; so simple that any believer would respond by saying "I could do that!"

The aim of this site is to connect, report and resource these new groups. If you'd like to know more check out the vision page.
