I see an army part 3

“I believe in simple church for several reasons...

A small church is able to keep on going when all else fails. Further, small groups of Jesus-followers are easily reproducible. People can’t hide or get lost in a small community. Caring for one another is made easier because everyone knows each other...

simple expressions of church, like a cell group or a house church, can function in closer proximity to those who don’t know Jesus by meeting in homes, businesses, on campuses etc.”

Thanks for these posts – great stuff!

Being flexible to move and change, accessible by people who have no traditional church background or people that are turned off by church, and reproducible by normal people - these are the major reasons why we have moved toward simple church/house church.

We don't have leaders who are spectators or any pew-sitters - there are no pews! There are no superstars, and no one has to be part of reaching people for Christ.

The ultimate reason for our shift: less people going to Hell, more people going to heaven.

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.
