A house church gives believers an idea of the Church that is closer to the Biblical account. Acts 2 speaks to how early Christians met in homes in addition to meeting in the Temple, and Acts 4 describes how believers held all their possessions in common, sharing with those in need. Two Christian leaders agree and speak to the strengths and weaknesses of the house church movement.
Jay Todd, a former church planter, has worked at College of the Ozarks for 12 years. He has a doctorate in biblical studies and is an associate professor of biblical and theological studies. Todd said he believes house churches can foster healthy discipleship and more.
“My thought is that if you recognize that part of the church is to make disciples, then I think house churches can provide a really conducive atmosphere for both discipleship and pastoral ministry where both the pastor knows his people and is known by them,” Todd said.
