promise of things to come
Right, we really are back now!

A new season has begun and over the next few weeks I will be catching up, by phone, email and face 2 face with as many contacts in the UK who I know are involved in planting simple,organic, home churches. As I do this I will attempt to report and reflect on what has been going on around the country over these past 6-12 months. Have things continued to grow and develop? Are some of the first organic churches showing any signs of reproducing? Are the non-churched being reached at all? What have people been learning?

I will also share some of the new stories I hear along the way.

I have a sense of anticipation as I begin this review, and although I'm expecting the developments to have been relatively small and slow, I still have a quiet excitement in my spirit about what lies ahead.

I have a number of things to post on immedately, not least of which was the 2 days I spent with about 15 german speaking organic church planters in Basle, Switzerland last week. So, more on that shortly.

It's good to be back in action.

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.
