Doing church
We were recently reminded by a member of our house church family that their leaders must keep speaking single-mindedly about what’s important. Persist even if it is to the extent of being repetitive and boring. Persevere until the vision, the, priorities, the values, the practices are caught!
Duly chastised, we will start to share about the why’s (the reason) we do things the way we do. Click on How we do church. To begin we will share about how celebration service and house church work togather, and what we hope to achieve with these structures, House church, our main focus.
We will also be sharing about what we actually do (in terms of outreach, mercy etc.). Just click on What we are doing.
By the way “Doing Church – Building from the bottom up”, written by Alexander Venter, Pastor of Valley Vineyard is an excellent church planter’s handbook. Doing Church is a helpful documentation of Vineyard’s way of doing church, of John Wimber’s and our philosophy of ministry, if you like. It is highly regarded reference book even within the Vineyard churches. It has given us invaluable insights in our preparation to eventually lead a Vineyard fellowship in Singapore.
