The Domestic Church: Like It Or Not, You Are The Pastor

When I say the word “CHURCH” the first thing that comes to mind is probably the place where people gather every Sunday to worship and hear sermons about how to live a Christian life. What you’re experiencing when you are at that place is the “Congregational Church.” The Congregational Church has great influence on people’s lives—that is certain. But I’d like to introduce to you another category of church that is equally; if not more influential than the Congregational Church … I call it … THE DOMESTIC CHURCH. This is the church that meets in your very own home 365 days a year and never closes. Its ministries influence the lives of every member of your family whether the teaching is intentional or unintentional. This little booklet (2,700 words) will help you see that the most important church is … The Domestic Church.
