An On-Line Community of House Churches, Simple Churches & Assorted Sojourners

Cafe Menu

Start Here - And Get To Know Us (I'm serious, you really should start here!).
Cafe Blog - well everybody else has one, so we decided we should have one too! Here is your opportunity to join us for a free exchange (well, a moderated exchange) of ideas regarding the house & simple church movement. We've been doing a weekly e-letter for over well 6 years now, before "blogging" was the "in" thing. But, hey, we're flexible. So, to misquote the ol' spiritual, "Every time we feel the Spirit movin' in our hearts we will blog!" Join us!
Communitas - Discover the larger community of house churches, simple churches and assorted sojourners through links to people, networks and websites. Are you in? If you & your house church don't have a presence on the web, let us create a page for you!

Godcast Central - Or as we like to call it, "The Heart of The Matrix"! (You had to see "Matrix Reloaded" to appreciate this. It's toward the end of the movie . . . but 'nuff said). Here are some of the "Godcasts" you can listen to (or even subscribe to!)

  • "The Simple Church Minute" - A two minute radio commentary on the nature of "simple church"
  • "A Kingdom, A People & A River" - a recap of our weekly e-letter by the same name with additional commentary & news by the author.
  • "House Church Conversations" - a more "intimate" conversation, a one-on-one talk, with a person of interest in the House Church/Simple Church movement.
  • "A House Church Round Table" - House Church practitioners engage in an open discussion about Frequently Asked Questions, or Issues & Answers
You'll Need A Bigger Cup -  Pour yourself a really big cup of your favorite brew (including you English breakfast and Chai tea types) and click here to read current and past issues of our "award winning" weekly newsletter  (well, we gave ourselves the award, 'cause we felt after six years of doing this we deserved it!). You can even subscribe!
House Church Equipping - Here's where we hide the good stuff! Here you'll find house church teaching notes (including our equipping workbook), audio files, conference announcements,  and much more. Read an article (or send us one to post) or discover a thread to pull and ponder.
The River - This is where we conduct an extended examination and discussion of historic spiritual awakenings, including the one that's about to unfold in the House Church movement.
Vintage Faith - Alexander Solzhenitsyn once observed that in order to destroy a people you must first sever their roots. Two thousand years of Christian faith and practice are roots which should not be lightly passed over . . . or severed, so here is where we discuss what Christians have historically believed and why . . . and why it matters today.
Cinema, Books` and Reviews - This is something new for us, although I've thought about it for a long time. Join an active discussion regarding movies, books affecting our movement and reviews of what we see happening culturally around us.
Outreach, Service, Block Parties & Other Manias - It's all about putting others before ourselves, taking the Kingdom of God into all the world, and serving "the least of these". Here we discuss neighborhood outreach, community outreach and more.
Cyber Cafe Art Corner - A community of house church artists and their art work. Become part of the community and post your work here!
A Gathering of Angels . . . And A Time To Dance - This is a link to our regular Friday evening gathering which you are invited to attend when you're in town.
