Other Sites Related to Home Church

I happen to detest web pages that are nothing but links to other web pages. They make it look like the site is freeloading off of other people's hard work creating useful information. If everyone just pointed to other people's sites, the World-Wide Web would be an empty web with no, um, flies for us spiders to eat.

For home churches, however, a page of links might be useful. If you've ever tried to enter the search string "home church" in a Web search engine, you know that either you get no hits or you hit on every "HOME" page for a "CHURCH." Neither of these is what you want.

If you want to try links to other home church related stuff, check out these web sites:

• Bruderhof - these web pages are built just like the children's stuff the Bruderhofs are famous for: all natural electrons and a lot of craftsmanship.
• Canberra Home Churches - The Canberra (Australia) Home Churches, founded by Robert and Julia Banks and Geoffrey Moon, are a network of house churches which have been around for 30+ years.  This article is a short account of the history and current practice of those home churches.
• Cell Church pages - Cell Churches and home churches are different both practically and conceptually, but have lots of concerns and issues in common. These pages include some informational articles and a resources section that has locator information for cell churches.
• Church Life in Brick, NJ - a totally ecclectic place courtesy of Earl Drum, with access to material written by Stephanie Bennett.
• Church-Life Resource Page - comprehensive bibliography of books and tapes on house church issues.
• Glory Fellowship - descriptive material about these home churches.
• House Church Central - a site with some interesting information you can't find anywhere else, including links to Vernard Eller materials.
• Home Church Home Page - for home churches all over the world. You will find a lot of useful resources on this site. A home church discussion list, writings by other homechurchers, a FAQ of common home church terms and much more...
• Home Church Network - a broad collection of resources and two different internet discussion lists.
• House to House - a group of North Alabama house churches put together this collection of newsletters and other resources.
• In Christ Ministries - about home churches in Ithaca, NY. This site has lots of resources and a refreshingly open attitude about who they are and what they're up to.
• Jessop's Own Web Pages - from Jessop (and Dorothy) Sutton in South Africa.  Includes several of Jessop's books on-line, and links to other house-church types.
• Life Stream Ministries - Wayne Jacobs' pages. Although this stuff is broader than just house church, Wayne has lots of good stuff here.
• New Covenant Living - Dan Beaty and the Church at Roys Ave. in Columbus, OH.
• New Creation Christian Community - a U.K. Christian community, with obvious similarities to home churches (as well as obvious differences).
• The New Reformation Review - an irreverent and insightful newsletter by Dan Trotter. Dan's a pioneer in more ways than one. He was one of the first on his block to give up print publication and head for the net.
• The New Testament Restoration Foundation - even though it claims to be the "complete" resource for house church Christianity, it's still well worth checking out.
• Oikos - an Australian newsletter with the mission of connecting home churches across Australia.
• Partners in the Gospel - Randy Cotita's newsletter, and links to a bunch of other useful information.

• Salem Community Church - "The Yellow Book," an introduction to a network of home churches in Salem, MA (your computer should use yellow electrons only when viewing this web)
• Seedsowers Christian Books - the print world of Gene Edwards. If you know of him, enough said; if you don't, you can find out more than you may want to know. Check out the page, either way.
• The Small Group Network - general resources for small groups. Some of this stuff can be useful in home church contexts.
