Launching an Awakening House Church is Easy
Before we share our four-step process, let me answer some common questions.
Why Awakening House Churches?
Awakening House Churches are answering the cry of people who want to experience a genuine encounter with God—and relational fellowship—without the religious restrictions of a traditional Sunday service.
The Holy Spirit spoke to me about a Book of Acts house church movement where people of all ages and races come together to minister to the Lord—and to each other.
Awakening House Churches are safe places for the unchurched and growth places for believers who want to learn and grow in their walk with God.
House churches are not a new idea—they are a God idea. Small is the new big—and you can be part of the movement with Awakening House Churches.
Do I have to preach a message to lead a house church?
You can but you don’t have to. You can listen to the weekly Awakening House of Prayer weekly messages online, joining the worship and having ministry time and fellowship in your house church.
What do you require of house church leaders?
Awakening Houses should meet at least monthly at launch, with the goal of meeting weekly. You do not necessarily need to meet on a Sunday. You could meet on a Saturday night and you can meet more than once in a week.
You don’t need to meet in a house. You can meet in an office building, in a park, or anywhere you can find a place to welcome in the presence of God.
We are looking for house church leaders who offer a welcoming place for everyone, including the un-churched, or those who have left the institutionalized church with hurts and wounds or otherwise bad experiences.
Does the movement help me connect with people in my city?
Awakening House Church offers you a personal e-mail address for your privacy. We have a mapping system where people can contact us and we can send you their contact information. You can choose whether or not you think they are a good fit for your Awakening House Church.
Does the movement encourage body ministry?
We encourage you to have a time for people to share what they hear the Lord saying or to discuss/ask questions about the message. That timing should be set by the leader. People may be allowed to move in the gifts of the Spirit, for example, during worship or after the message, at your disrection.
Does the movement have a mobile app and other communication avenues?
Yes, Awakening House of Prayer has an app. We also have a private Facebook group for leadership and our site is translated into every major language.
Launching an Awakening House Church
You’ve read about the early church in the Book of Acts, and something inside of you burns for that kind of community—a place where believers gather as a family, break bread, worship God, study the Word, and see the power of God manifest. You don’t just want to attend church once a week—you want to live the gospel daily.
But if you’re honest, you haven’t found that in most local churches. Maybe you’ve tried. Maybe you’ve been faithful. But week after week, you walk away feeling like something is missing.
You’re hungry for deeper relationships, not just Sunday acquaintances. You long for a Spirit-led atmosphere, not just a program. You want to be actively discipled and equipped, not just sitting in a pew. You desire to see the supernatural move of God, just like in the early church.
Does this sound like you? I know exactly how you feel. When you decide to lead an Awakening House Church, you join a community of believers all over the world with like precious faith (2 Peter 2:1). The early church turned the world upside down. Let’s do it again—one house at a time.
Launching an Awakening House Church is simple. God calls you.
We equip you. Here’s the three-step process:
STEP ONE: Fill out the application.
You’ll find our application process easy. It shouldn’t take you more than five minutes to answer the questions that help us prepare to have a Zoom meeting with us.
STEP TWO: Schedule a Zoom meeting with us.
We value relationships, so we want to get to know you and make sure this is the right fit for you. We want to hear your heart. We also want you to understand our vision and heart.
STEP THREE: Launch your Awakening House Church.
We provide tremendous technology and personal support to help you launch your hub. After we’ve met together and approved your application, you’ll hear from us about making your promotional banners, setting up your email and getting you into our online leadership group and portal, where you’ll find even more resources and fellowship.
If you are in a THIRD WORLD nation, in Africa or Asia, you may qualify for a SPONSORSHIP. If you are not in a third-world nation, please do not apply for a sponsorship.
That’s it. It’s just that easy. You’ll discover that it’s easy to get up and running. And remember, we stand together.
