The Living Room: We all need a place to experience family. Our house church wants to be that place.
Our Mission: We are committed to reaching out to those who are, for whatever reason without family.This includes those who’ve relocated due to work, school, or the military, students at local colleges, and those left without family due to other life circumstances.
We are called to this mission as a way of life, offering grace and redemption wherever God gives us opportunity. We will hold one another accountable to reach out to people without family who we meet at work, school, the grocery store, or in our neighborhoods. The Holy Spirit is the best networker when we listen and pray!
Our house church meets: in Edmond every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month. We begin by sharing a meal and conversation at the family table. Character is developed as each house church member is encouraged to be discipled in one of our Discipleship Groups (D-Group) that meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays. These smaller groups allow for deeper relationships as well as greater accountability.
Ideas for outreach:
- hosting movie nights in the backrooom
- opening our homes at the Holidays
- spending time with the boys from the Willow Spring’s Boy’s Ranch
- having game nights to eat and play games!
- hosting “girls night out” or “boys night in” for others to hang out with us at local restaurants or in our homes
Deuteronomy 14:29
“so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.”
