One of the latest trends in churches is as old at the book of Acts - the house church movement. Barna research estimates that 5% of believers in the US are attending house churches, and this number is increasing. People want to express their belief in Jesus in ways that do not conform to a traditional church model. They are hungry for the close relationships that a small group model offers them.
Small church veterans, Larry Kreider and Floyd McClung have compiled a complete guide to getting your own house church off the ground. This includes chapters on: how to start, how to include children, how to lead, pitfall to avoid, and how to work together with other groups.
