You Just Began Your H4H Journey!

You can plant a church. Yes You Can! H4H is an exciting network of Christians, all over North America, dedicating their families and homes as centers of relationship, hospitality, worship, and community/world mission. Planting new churches using a simple and cost-effective methodology- Your family connecting with others, by extending hospitality in your home.

Working among an unreached people group in West Africa, we planted churches simply, and relationally. The services were simple, relaxed, and enjoyable. Under tree's in family courtyards. Stripped of many unnecessary forms and structure. We simply practiced Acts 2:42, Anywhere, Anytime, Everywhere. You may not agree with all that you hear in these videos. Well, the truth is neither do we. But you can do what works for your group, and we are here to help you. Your home is a great way to take Christ to people.

“The churches that the apostles and Paul planted were, for the most part, light and lean `House churches’ without a great deal of institutional trappings… The most effective missionaries are multiplying churches which are very simplified.”

Stephen Hawthorne (Perspectives On the World Christian Movement Study Guide, William Carey, 2009, pg 50)

Book: (THE CHURCH IN THE HOUSE: A Return to Simplicity, Robert Fitts (To request your copy, please contact Robert at the following address: Robert Fitts 76-6309 Haku Place, Kona, HI 96740) (Check the books side bar to read the book online for free)
Robert Fitts outlines 16 things to do to start a House Church. TO START A CHURCH IN A HOUSE.

1) Pray and Get Others to Pray. Get others to pray with you. Find someone who sees the vision and pray with them for God's direction as to how to proceed. 2) Connect the work – To teachers and Ministers. The apostles sent Barnabas along later to help give it encouragement and strength. 3) Have a simple meal with communion at the end. 4) Start Small: "Where two or three have gathered together in my name... Matt. 18:20 5) Be active in several House Churches. 6) Be free to meet whenever and wherever. 7) Do not make up a membership list. For the reasons cited above, do not make some people members and some nonmembers. They will never be your sheep anyhow. They all belong to Jesus if they have been born again. If they have not, then you will have the high privilege of leading them to the Lord. Until then, they are as welcome to attend our meetings as anyone. 8) Receive all who come. Some will come to your house church who are formal members of another fellowship. ......We are not trying to dislodge anyone from anything the Lord is telling them to do. But neither will we tell them they cannot come to our meetings. We must receive all who come to us just as every other church in town should receive all who come to their meetings. 9) Do not write a constitution and by-laws. The New Testament is our constitution and by-laws. It is totally sufficient. We need not formulate some other document to give us direction as a church. The day is coming when we will simply give to the Lord and expect nothing back on tax day. We are not against taking advantage of this tax break. Use it if the Lord gives you peace about it. The day may come when the disadvantages of being a "registered" nonprofit religious organization will outweigh the advantages. 10) Don't throw rocks at the "Traditional Church". We are a part of the traditional church because we are a part of the citywide church. The problems of the church are our problems because we are the church. 11) Meet Regularly. 12) Don't be afraid to call it church. Throughout the New Testament we find many words that are used in place of the word "church," such as disciples, saints, assembly, believers, etc. There will be times that we will call our meetings church and at other times we will call them fellowship, gatherings, assemblies. But when we gather in Jesus' name, we know it is the church which is his Body. 13) Submit to Spiritual Authority & Accountability. (Elders Etc) 14) Use Discussion Bible Study (The Priesthood of the Believers) 15) Plan and Pray for a "Church Split." 16) Embrace the Citywide Church.

H4H is About Real Meaningful Caring Relationships- Anytime, Anywhere, Everywhere!

Are you tired of "going to church" talking about the weather, not really connecting with anyone, not ministering to your world? Imagine a gathering of people who do more than just smile and ask, "how are you?", or say "Nice day out there!"one day a week. We gather with friends, people interested in our lives outside of church. People who take time, make time, to care, discuss the scriptures, pray, and reaching out to others for Christ. Who Actually want not just the mercy of God, but his mission as well.

If you long to connect with others over mission. H4H is about doing life together, not just church. Not one hour, but life lived in community, and out in the community. It's all about relationships. Here is a good video that exemplifies a goal of H4H groups.

Home- A Natural Place To Begin

Why not start at home?

The natural place for relationships is home. We bring our friends and our extended family into our home. Our neighbors relate to us as a local household. From the home we touch school kids, adults at work, and all ages in our community sports programs.

When, in our homes, we teach and live for Jesus Christ home becomes a place where our children are discipled to connect with God and reach out to the world. As a family, we can pray for our friends and neighbors. We can invite those that we have been reaching out to, to come in to our process and learn right along with us. They can then duplicate the process in their home and with those they are connected with.

It just sounds so natural. Why do we have to complicate it all by separating ourselves into same age clusters or by gender? I read in the Bible about whole households coming to Christ, and I realize that that rarely happens now. I realize that we have changed our focus from home centered to institutional centered.

Who will dare to change the focus?

Who will start at home?
