At the time we were getting ready to move to Kansas City MO, start seminary, and begin the process the North American Mission Board required in order to become missionaries. We did not understand everything that would entail, but were faithful to remain diligent with our studies and trying to follow the Lord in His direction for this church plant. As time progressed we learned that we were not the traditional type of church planters that were learning from. Instead of following the church growth crowd, seeker sensitive people, or the purpose driven crowd, we became enamored by a principle called indigenous church planting. We studied this in a practical way in working with a mobile home community and trying to begin a church there. We studied multihousing congregations, churches overseas, and most importantly, the book of Acts in the New Testament. This led us down a difficult path of questioning literally everything we as Southern Baptists do things. By doing so, we have learned more about ourselves, the church, and the nature of man that we would have learned in several years. We saw people who would never consider going to a traditional church for many different reasons. We learned of the hurt that people dealt with on a daily basis that we would not have seen if we were viewed as the pastor next door. We learned genuine community and Christian fellowship. We saw that our particular context had plenty of self-proclaimed Christians within it, but was very slim on an active Christian faith. We learned about how the neighbors really felt about the two pastors living on each side of the street as they shut their doors to the little trick-or-treaters or would not spend any time really getting to know and care about their neighbor friends. We saw churches that desperately needed workers to fill open positions at the expense of family time, getting to know neighbors, or helping out people in practical ways that might lend an opportunity to share the gospel message. These are but a few of the reasons that house/organic churches are necessary. People desire real relationships with other people, why should this be any different with the God who created and purposed our lives? House/organic churches are excellent ways to bring people into a real relationship with a God who wants to have a relationship with them. Healthy house churches are ones that will almost force people to have an active faith, be committed to one another as a church body, and share their faith with those around them in an everyday type context, not just a Saturday morning when the weather is good. This paper will show the theology, missiology, direction, and key components to the house/organic church that meets on North Forest Avenue in Kansas City Missouri. In the process the reader will be able to have a glimpse into the past that brought the church to where it currently is and the future vision of where the church may be headed. Most importantly, the reader will have a clear understanding of why there is a need for neighborhood house churches and why they are a viable biblical model in this present day. Questions of whether or not house/organic churches are a viable model are useless without first answering the question of the theology behind beginning such a church. Many house/organic church authors would like to say their model is the only way to do church, but not too many deal with the theological principles behind the house church. With the emphasis on the group as a whole, many are very uncomfortable with a biblically educated brother or sister in Christ laying out a theology for starting churches. To many, this should simply be acted upon and not discussed as why it needs to be done biblically. Ed Stetzer, a Southern Baptist church planting practitioner and missiologist basically starts out chapter three of his book Planting New Churches in a Postmodern Age with the Great Commission that is found in Matthews Gospel. He points out that the passage teaches believers are to baptize, teach, and make disciples. The interesting point he (Stetzer) makes is that the early church did this by starting new churches. There were not churches on every corner as some would say now. People were about the business of telling their friends and neighbors about the Christ who had forgiven them of their sins and changed their lives forever. Stetzer goes on to say that the word used in the English translation as nation is better understood as people groups. If this is true, churches all over the world should be helping to start other churches instead of saying it is their job to simply reach those around them. As a model, there might not be a more complete one that could go into any environment and accomplish this than the house/organic church. House/organic churches disciple, baptize, and teach people about the entire gospel message as well. Within this model discipleship is a natural process and not an event. Starting with a person coming to Christ in salvation, discipleship is ongoing in the life of the church. On most weeks within our context stories are passed around the room of opportunities that were taken on a particular day to share the gospel message in a completely natural way with a co-worker or neighbor. Learning about Christ, the early church, biblical principles, or the churchs roots in Judaism are commonplace within the house church on a regular basis and are included in what many would call a discipleship process. This process of discipleship also carries over to second and third generation church planting. When a mother church has this embedded within her DNA, it is only natural that those that come out of that church would do the same. Baptizing is another important part of church planting and the new church. Jesus commands this in the Great Commission, it is seen clearly in the new churches started by Paul and the apostles, and is the visible identification by the new believer in Christ to the world that he/she is a new creation in Him. In the house/organic church baptism is done much the way it is done in the traditional church. A person comes to Christ as his/her savior, this is celebrated among those in the group and the person is baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the house church there is not a 101, 201, etc to go through before baptism and neither are there church membership records. The local house church is the gathering place of believers, and the person is baptized into Christ and thus a member of the universal church. This is difficult for many believers to grasp as they identify themselves as Baptist, Methodist, or Lutheran rather than a follower of Christ after baptism. Wellspring Church had four baptisms this past year (2007) and a short celebration was held at Providence Baptist Church. This was an awesome example of how a traditional church can partner with a house/organic church plant by sharing resources and showing its membership that they too can go forth and make disciples and baptize. The four being baptized were able to share a little about their journey, both churches were able to be a part of a broader fellowship, and the family of one of the men being baptized was able to hear a clear message of salvation by watching the baptism and hearing the reasons behind such an act in the public. Stetzer is quick to note that the New Testament never uses the words church planting. This is implicit as the church gathered together and taught one another from the scriptures. People learned that Christ was one who was sent to save them from their sins and the love for others commanded that they do likewise. Many ask house/organic church leaders how they get people to act upon the Great Commission. The answer is found in the Holy Spirit that brought them out of a life of bondage into one of freedom. It happens naturally! This is the premise behind a book written by Neil Cole entitled Organic Church. People come to Christ, gather as a church and naturally tell others about the transformation that has occurred in their lives. In their book on house and cell churches, Kirk Hadaway, Francis DuBose, and Stuart Wright make it clear that the possession of the church in the New Testament is to Jesus Christ. Passages that support this are found in 1 Tim. 3:5; 3:15 and Romans 16:16. The house/organic church is universally specific that the gathering is made up of local believers who belong not to a specific denomination, but to His Church. The functions of this church, according to the New Testament are to be done together as a family. This most definitely follows the pattern set forth in the Old Testament where Gods people are viewed in a family type atmosphere. The house/organic church is also very strong on the placement of Christ as the head of the church. The body exists to do the will of the head, which is Christ. This is the reason that house/organic churches can find more common ground together than churches from different denominations. People gathering in homes understand that they are not following a set of denominational rules and guidelines, but the Word of God and Christ through His Holy Spirit. Minor differences are most often easily worked through as groups meet together. With a clear understanding of the theology behind the house/organic it is important to touch on the missiology of the church. This model of church is very indigenous in nature. This means that the traditional way of scouting a neighborhood or area needs to be done with a different set of eye glasses on. While the church needs to understand their community by means of ethnicity, culture, economics, housing, and religious background, it should understand that this model is neither attractional nor does it offer anything the community is used to seeing from a church. The house church gathers believers from a variety of backgrounds most often within the same neighborhood as the Spirit gives them. An analogy between the traditional church the house/organic church would serve well to demonstrate this. The traditional church plant needs to go do major events such as door to door witnessing, mailings, attractions, and fliers to get people to know about the new church in order for it to grow. These people must feel a specific need to attend this new church, whatever that need may be. It may be Christ, a childrens program, great preaching, good music, a close proximity or a variety of other reasons. The house/organic church simply relies on the Holy Spirit to gather people to Himself. This is done naturally within the believers specific natural locations such as home, work, or any other place people would gather. People do not come to church for something that the church can offer, but come because they are truly seeking to know Christ, or Christ has changed them and they come to worship and fellowship with other believers of like mind. This type of thinking regarding church is very confusing and frustrating to Christians and non-Christians alike. Many cannot grasp that the church is made up of people and is not a place. Therefore the church must be made up of regenerate believers who find themselves partnering with other believers to be on mission with Christ. In short, the churchs purpose is to be a missionary group due to the missionary nature of God. In his book entitled The Biblical Basis of Missions Avery Willis has an excellent chapter on the mission of Gods people. His three main headings in this chapter are Gods election of His people, His covenant with a people, and their role as a people. The house/organic church believes very much in these principles and they are seen acted out each week. First His people are elected, or called out. They are chosen by Him, redeemed, and become a part of the church body. Just as Abraham was called by God to leave his family, town, and friends to follow Him, so are the believers of the house/organic church. Some leave more than others. Most in our group did not really leave any church or denomination and their families do not give them a hard time about belonging to a house church. Even the lost family members seem to think it is a good thing overall. Christy and I are a different story. We did leave a church to start this one, but people at that church still want to know why we left and when we are coming back to real church. Our families are churched people and have watched our spiritual journeys and do not understand what we have against the church. We do not have an ax to grind; we just cannot go back to what we are not called to be a part of. God has a covenant with us. Just as God illustrated His relationship with Israel in a marriage setting, so are we with God. We have become joined to Him to accept His terms in order to be made the people He would have us to be. In this we are to be disciplined. We are no longer our own people, but bound to God through Christ. We can most definitely see His actions in the life of the church when we act according to His will and purpose. Missiologically this plays out on a daily basis with members of the group. As a disciplined people we are sharing His love on a daily basis, working toward multiplication in other areas of the city and country, and doing whatever we can to demonstrate His power and majesty to those in need. And His role for us as a disciplined people includes being a nation of priests for Him. The house/organic church does not usually have one person who serves as the head of the group. Each person is gifted in different ways, but all are considered priests and can go before the very throne of God with petitions, prayers, and praises. These priests bring the message of salvation to the entire world. This is seen in John 20:23. We are also a servant people. Isaiah has four servant passages that show the role of the servant for Jesus Christ. These passages show the servant will bring justice to the nations (Isa. 42:1-7), that the people of God are called by God (Isa. 49:1-12), they are given wisdom by God (Isa 50:4-11), and that Christ will be the suffering servant for whom the sins of the world have been place (Isa 52:13-53:12). When looking to start a house/organic church, a person must first look to his or her spiritual gifts and consider their context. Since every house church begins differently, there is not any one method that one needs to follow in order for a church to start. In our case we were studying church planting, intending on working for a state convention as church planting missionaries, planting traditional churches. The more we studied, the less we were comfortable with this method. After reading George Barnas book Revolution, we found that we were not alone. We were literally worn out on church and simply had to find a different way. We began sharing our thoughts and experiences with others and found a small group within our home church of Providence who felt the same way. We sat down with the pastor of the church and we agreed that we would try to purposely plant a different type of church out of Providence Baptist. We did extensive studies on the area, demographics, surveys, door to door, and found that most people were either connected with a church or at the very least religious. After some time doing this, a mentor asked me why we were doing it. I did not have a good answer. He told me that if we planned on having an attractional church, then go ahead. If not, do something different. We opted for the later and have been working solely on a relational basis ever since. Wolfgang Simpson has a great portion in his book Houses That Change The World entitled 15 Thesis toward a Re-incarnation of Church. In this he talks about the church being a way of life, the church needing to be small in order to grow, no pastor can lead a church alone, the church needs to be brought to the people instead of the other way around, and developing a persecution-proof spirit. All of these have shown me that I need to be involved in something different, which has the possibility of dramatically changing lives and reaching people naturally. We learned in the early process that although people may be excited and want to join in on the journey, it is best not to start with churched people. Once we were underway, the excitement for them waned and they had to have the programs, order, and someone to spoon-feed them scriptures on a weekly basis. This was shocking to me. The life-long believers were so entrenched in their way of Christianity that even though they thought they wanted something different, they could not adapt. The new believers and nominal Christians that joined us were different altogether. They loved being accountable each week. They dove into the scriptures, offered to teach, asked the hard questions, and wanted to reach their neighbors and friends with the gospel message. We started with the SBC model of beginning a church, but after going through this and actually surviving I would not recommend anyone who uses this model to do so. Portions of things like Basic Training are fine, but overall the program does not fit. The information we gathered to start a house/organic church is fairly simply. The first thing needed is a willingness to open up a home, or organize a meeting place. As simple as this seems, most find this to be quite difficult. Many can walk away from the traditional church, but few can seem to open their homes on a weekly or monthly basis. The chore of cleaning and knowing people will be coming over can be too much many times. We have found that a good thing to have in the gift of hospitality. We love having people over. If we could do it more than once a week we would. Others in our group do not mind having people over, but not every week. Another thing to keep in mind is changing from a mindset of spiritual giant to that of a little child. No one person is greater than any other person. In the house/organic church your feelings will get hurt. People will leave, some will not agree on everything, and everyone will need to learn to surrender to others. Patience is a must in the church. One thing I did in basic training was timelines on mileposts. These are thrown out the window in house/organic church. The church is a living organism and cannot be forced one way or the other. In our case, we are fortunate enough to be in the process of helping to start other churches. Our original timeline showed 3-5 years for this. It actually happened in less than two. Friends of mine have been able to reproduce five times over and others have not seen a convert. Patience is a key component. After we decided when and where to meet, we had to decide what worked for us in our gatherings. Different groups do various things in the meetings and an answer to what happens will depend on which group or book is referenced. Some people call them celebrations. These are times when the group can come together and really give thanks to Christ for each person in the group and how he interacts with them throughout the week. Oftentimes in these celebrations there are singing, stories shared, scripture read, self-disclosure given, and intense worship. Other groups like ours spend a good deal of the time in the Word of God. We usually do a book study where each person brings something they have learned during the week about the passage to the group and out of this all sorts of doctrines and teachings are done on a weekly basis. Some groups have a more regular routine and others do not know what is doing to happen from month to month. The important thing is that each group is collectively led by the Holy Spirit and seeks to glorify Him each week. In their book on house church, Robert and Julia Banks lay out a good outline as too what generally happens in the house/organic church setting. People come together to pray and praise, learn together, share the Lords Supper, exercise gifts, make decisions, raise up leadership, and multiply groups. Our group also operates under the definitions of the church set forth by the Southern Baptist Convention in the Baptist Faith and Message under the section entitled The Church. The North American Mission Board has a paper written by Dr. Stan Norman that outlines the definition of a Southern Baptist Church in the United States and Canada, but at thirty-three pages long and a bit excessive at times, we tend to go along with the guidelines written by Clyde Meador, Executive Vice President of the IMB in 2005. The IMBs statement is short, to the point, and recognizes that church must be different within different contexts. At only two pages and in a summary type style, no one would have a hard time reading and understanding what is meant in a short time. House/organic churches are also committed to reaching people for Christ and being His hands and feet in the community. This is done through personal evangelism, mission projects with the church and other churches that network together and by multiplying when possible. In his book on the life cycle of a new congregation, Loyd Tidsworth, Jr. outlines some of the reasons why a church may or may not be able to accomplish its goal of being fruitful or multiplying. In his conclusion he writes that the most important is purpose. Do members know why they gather? Is each individual being challenged weekly to share with someone new? Are new communities being prayed for and targeted for new groups? Is leadership being developed in a natural way? Is the Word of God keeping the dream alive? Robert Dales revolutionary book on Keeping the Dream Alive shows that vision is everything in a church. Whether new or established, the dream must be brought up time and again in order that it never fades from sight and the goal is not lost. To ensure this vision is not lost the house/organic congregation at Wellspring has done several things to provide guards against this. First of all evangelism is talked about on a weekly basis. Someone in the group always shares about a co-worker, friend, or family member that they are sharing with. These members are encouraged, prayed for, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to keep ministering to their lost friends. Wellspring also works with a loose network of other house/organic churches and like-minded leaders in the area and over the phone/Internet. One network is called DAWN and has been great to help us get to know people who are working like us. Finally, Wellspring is working toward multiplication to keep the dream alive. Currently we are helping to start two new house/organic churches, one in Lees Summit MO and the other in Grandview MO. Both of these churches have house church roots in Wellspring. We are also helping a traditional church plant in Wisconsin, give monetarily to the North American Mission Board and their church planting efforts, and work with existing house/organic churches to help them keep their vision alive. Wellspring partners with churches abroad as well. We are working with a native Zambian strategist start new churches and are helping a church planter in Brazil start churches among the Japanese people who are settling there. Not only are we trying to help people see the benefits of house/organic church and support other efforts, but we are also trying to further the already established ministries that faithful people have begun. We work with City Union Mission to help provide food, clothes and opportunities to start over for the homeless. We also provide monetary, materials, and monthly volunteer support to Rachel House Pregnancy Care Center in Kansas City MO. Our group is passionate about this right to life ministry and is very active praying for them weekly. Mentoring within the house/organic church is important too. All of the successful (ongoing) churches that we know of all have leaders who have mentoring partners and work to meet, in one way or another with group members throughout the week. Wellsprings leadership tries to meet with leaders of other house/organic churches on a monthly basis and strives to keep an open relationship with pastors of traditional congregations open by meeting with various pastors over coffee or by phone. Books are discussed, problems worked over, or personal decisions are prayed over in these meetings. All of these components are key to the success of a house/organic church. All of the failed attempts that we have come across have been missing one or more of the above-mentioned ingredients. The house/organic church community desires to leave that legacy that lasts as Drs. Howard and William Hendricks put it. Each person in the group must put forth an effort to live out their Christianity on a daily basis and be willing to be an active participant in the community called church. In the house/organic church there is no place for anyone to hide his or her beliefs. If anyone comes to be spoon-fed, they will not only be disappointed, they will most likely not return. If Yoda were a Christian he might say, Programs a church does not make. People do. The people do the action, make the decisions, do the evangelism, lead the group, and multiply the church. One common question I receive from others in the traditional church is how do you get them to do so and so? The answer is you dont. In the house/organic church evangelism is not a program, but an outgrowth of the love that believers have inside for their lost neighbors. Children do not learn one time a week in a special service designed specifically for them, but from their mom and dad (or either if in a single home) on a daily basis and from the church as they gather. Christianity is taught to be a lifestyle that each person must embrace as he/she comes to a decision point with Christ. Individual, daily bible reading is encouraged and questions about doctrine are answered with bibles in hand many times after the group has done their own research into the issue throughout the week. Although a few still attend a traditional church occasionally, the majority of believers we have come in contact with have found this experience to be the one for them. The ones who have not seem to be angry at traditional church or their pastor and are looking for an alternative. This model crossed denominational and ecclesiological boundaries and has been the most satisfying model for our personalities. I would encourage anyone seeking to learn more about the house/organic church to investigate one on their own and question those who attend on a weekly basis on the qualities that have made this experience one they would not trade anything for.
