This thought really appeals to me. It’s fantastic to see our church growing (and growing, and growing) and people are meeting Christ. But, the concept of house churches has always appealed to me. Maybe there’s something everyone else knows and I don’t (please share) – why aren’t house churches all the rage?

Alternatively, what do you think of Jeff Vanderstelt’s crazy(ly awesome) idea for small groups: How would you conduct this group if it was the core group for a church plant? Do that. And if it’s working – plant a church. (from this conference message: audio | video.)
