ABOUT

Vision:

Teach, inform, train and support. Through preventive works, Simple Church Ministry seeks to make disciples first, through loving relationships that lead to Christ.

Breaking all stereotypes of what Christians have been taught Church is, Simple Church Ministry challenges believers to rethink how they do church by examining the early church and the concept of church described in the Bible.

Simply Church Ministry is God's people meeting in homes, offices, campuses, wherever God is moving. The Lords way of being the church, rather than just having church or attending a building. This is the pattern common in New Testament scripture, many parts of the globe, and is now becoming more and more common in the U.S. as well.

We are used to thinking of church as a building, but how does the Bible portray the church? Interestingly, the Bible never uses the word “church” to describe a building; instead, it gives us the picture of the church as a family. Here are some biblical examples of New Testament gatherings:

• Lydia’s House (Acts 16:40)
• An Upper Room (Acts 20:8)
• Priscilla and Aquila’s house (Romans 16:3-5, 1 Corinthians 16:19)
• Nympha’s house in Laodicea(Colossians 4:15)
• Archippa’s house (Philemon 2)
• Multiple House Churches in Ephesus (See Acts 20:17-20)

Our Mission:

1. To holistically heal and transform through the preventive works of educating, counseling, training and spiritual discipleship to ensure that the cycle of people being spiritually mis-informed and therefore spiritually ineffective will not be repeated.
   
   
2. Plant regional churches/gatherings that reflect the values and structure of the first century church.
   
   
3. Multiplication! Rather than continuing to grow in size, we multiply, releasing others in their areas of gifting, and encouraging the repetition of this cycle for other simple church gatherings.

Methods:

Internet evangelism, Simple Church Gatherings, Adopt a Complex, and Men's Center Outreach.
