Community within the church today is hemorrhaging. Attention spans are dwindling, noise levels are increasing, and we can't seem to find time for real relationships.

The answer to such social fragmentation can be found in small groups, and yet the majority of small groups--at least in the traditional sense--are often not the intentional, transformational community we really want and need. Somehow we need to get our groups off life support and into authentic community.

Pastor Brad House helps us to re-imagine what gospel-centered community looks like and shares from his experience leading and reproducing healthy small groups. With wisdom and candor, House challenges us to think carefully about our own groups and to take steps toward cultivating communities that are able to glorify Jesus, bless one another, and participate in the mission of God.

Is it time for your church to go multisite? It seems everybody is doing it these days, so how do you know if it is the right solution for your congregation? MultiChurch brings clarity to the multisite movement and assembles the lessons it has learned over the past fifteen years. It explores the opportunities presented by the various forms of multi-site church, identifies areas of concern, and concludes that multisite is not only a biblically sound ecclesiological model, but also a model that provides a compelling solution to contemporary reductionism in the church.

Is your community group life-giving or life-draining? Has your small group experience felt old and stale? Does your group feel manufactured, socially awkward, and more like a chore to attend? We all know that community groups are supposed to be life-giving, but why aren t they? In answering this question, Pastor Brad House has written Community Group Guide to help you and your community group experience the life-giving and transforming power of the gospel in your community life. From starting a community group, to breathing new life in your existing group, this study guide is for you. Whether you are a leader of a group or a member, you will benefit by working through this guide as a companion to Community: Taking Your Small Group Off Life Support.
