Starting a House Church

i’ve forgotten how amazing the church really is.  by church, i mean the body of Christians around the world, not just the lutheran church down the street.  during the end of my last school year, i was given the opportunity to lead a house church in the calvin college neighborhood for the mars hill church.  i wasn’t the only leader, some of my friends also volunteered.  however, i was the only one in grand rapids for the summer, so i was responsible for taking on the first phase - starting the house church.

after a bunch of emails and talking to some of my friends who went to mars hill, the calvin house church had its first meeting in mid-june.  now, we’re meeting at least once a week, either to have a bible study or to volunteer and help needy people.  just hanging out with like-minded people has been amazing, and every sunday i look forward to going to the mars hill evening service with them.  people were truly meant for community, and i’m glad i can share life with my brothers and sisters in christ.
