An Atlanta based house church community that models the biblical church of Acts.
The model God gave the early church.
We read that local, house-based communities are the model God gave the early church — and we believe that model yields the greatest fruit. It equips disciples to make disciples, and it allows every believer to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, not just a few select people leading from the front.
Theologically, meeting in homes is what we see throughout the New Testament — the church meeting in homes. And what we’ve seen with the ministry of deliverance, when it’s modeled in a church community, produces that exact same pattern we see in Acts:
Jesus came to deliver us from demonic strongholds and bondage. Mary Magdalene, one of the first women to follow Jesus, had seven demons cast out of her — and then she became a follower. If we can deduce that everyone who met Jesus was delivered of demons, then a period of discipleship followed. Three years of discipleship with the Lord — and then He said it was good for Him to go so He could send the Holy Spirit. Once the Holy Spirit came, the disciples walked in power.
So the pattern is: deliverance, then discipleship, then — the last third — being rooted in community, radically operating in the gifts of the Spirit. That’s why house church is better. That’s why house church is what we’re doing, and not building a traditional Western church.
We see in the ministry of Jesus that freedom from demonic oppression, healing of spirit, soul and body, and compassion were central to His ministry.
A period of being taught and formed, the way the disciples spent three years with the Lord. We see this as important to our own journey. It takes time for seeds to grow into plants that produce fruit.
Radically operating in the gifts of the Spirit, together, once the Holy Spirit came, was how the church grew — and we’ve seen that exact same pattern play out in our own community.
A network of house churches, not one house church
People often hear “house church” and think small gathering, low structure, free-flowing. For us, house church is a radical strategy to reach our end goal: one billion souls saved in thirty years through discipleship — because disciples make disciples, and that multiplies faster and further than any single person being the hero.
So while each individual gathering stays small and rooted in the DNA of this community, the vision isn’t small — we are building a network of house churches, not one house church.
Church gatherings consist of Four Flows, each roughly thirty minutes.
We move through Four Flows, each roughly a thirty-minute chunk, though not rigidly capped at thirty minutes. We articulate the flow at the beginning of every gathering so everyone knows what to expect, and we give clear announcements whenever things are about to pivot.
Eating together and spending time in fellowship—gathering around The Table, is a common theme in scripture.
Someone in the community shares a fifteen-minute mini-sermon on the month’s topic; we explore it together in addition to the pastoral team teaching.
Space for a tongue and interpretation, a prophetic word for the community, room for the Holy Spirit to move tangibly.
We empower and equip disciples of Jesus to walk in power, and this is one of the places where we walk that out together.
We expect the book of Acts to come alive.
We have one topic of teaching per month. The people giving the word are those who’ve already been discipled through our ministry and are tapped for teaching gifts. Prophetic ministry can also happen within the gathering as the Spirit leads.
Prophecy, tongues, and words of knowledge are common — all the gifts of The Holy Spirit can show up depending on what the Holy Spirit is doing in the room. Our church values equipping the Body of Christ to be activated in their specific spiritual gifts through prayer.
That interruption is the plan — the Holy Spirit leads and directs, and we discern where to go. Listening is one of our core values: listening, obeying, letting the Holy Spirit lead, having faith without doubting, and living like Jesus is coming back tomorrow.
What Yeshua did means we can access the ability to be blameless before the Lord.
The word came to one of our staff and after sitting on it for a week or two, the Lord revealed our logo to me visually as I was thinking about if that was our name. Right then, I knew the Lord was on it and briefly after led me to our mission—Prepare the Bride of Christ for Jesus’ return. I knew right then that this was it, and that the Lord was naming us, not man.
“Blameless” carries two meanings in Scripture. One is sacrificial language — a lamb without blemish. The other is legal and relational — without guilt of accusation. When you put them together, it means that what Jesus/Yeshua did means we are now blameless before our Father in Heaven. The name points back to Him in everything — and in how we walk.
REF: ROMANS 8:33, EPHESIANS 1:4, 5:27, PHILIPPIANS 2:15Come ready to receive encouragement and be loved no matter your background.
If you’re ever in a moment of focus or ministry, we handle that with care — never forcing you to feel like healing or a miracle has to happen before you’re ready to process it. We won’t make anyone do anything they don’t want to do.
If you’re not a believer, you’re absolutely welcome. I encourage you to read the book of Acts before attending. Our prayer and hope is that you experience the power of God biblically—just in a modern context.
A casual home community, so come as you are, truly no expectations. Just ideally clothing that is appropriate to be around children.
Sundays, 4–6 PM.
In the home of one of the community’s leaders, elders, or deacons.
There’s usually a meal at The Table, and we’re moving toward doing this together as a whole community. Some Sundays may be built entirely around a shared meal, prayer, and worship.
As many as the house allows — around forty in our current house. Once we approach fifty or sixty, we split and multiply, guided by geography, spiritual gifts, and the Holy Spirit’s leading.
Join us at a Sunday gathering.
