The Essentials of Church.

We believe that Microchurch embodies the essentials of what it means to be the Church: a community of Prayer, scripture, and mission in the name of Jesus. In many ways, ‘micro’ refers both to size and to nature. We are simplifying the ‘form’ of the church to prioritize the essentials.

We are taking cues from the practices of that first Jesus community:

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” – Acts 2:42-47 (NIV)

This simple way of gathering helps us keep what matters most at the center.

We gather together to pray, read scripture, share a meal, and grow as a family. It is in this ordinary rhythm of life, situated in the community, that we become like Jesus and bear witness to his Kingdom.

Microchurch is not an accessory to church, or a novel adaptation, it is the essentials of church.
