“The Covid Pandemic has highlighted a number of challenges for our worshipping communities, not least around public worship services.  While our assumption is that things will eventually “go back to normal” we must also wonder how many people really want to do that.  We are seeing a greater interest in micro-churches and house church movements, both of which can exist alongside more traditional ways of gathering.  As we live from our pandemic experience and seek to navigate our way into new ways of missional living with God, Simple Church provides a meaningful paradigm for relational mission and gospel living reminiscent of the early Church experience and model.”

“We’re finding that Simple Church is especially effective in reaching people who don’t attend any church, and would probably never enter the four walls of a traditional church building. It’s also extremely cost-effective. These congregations have no paid pastors, empower lay people, and don’t have the overhead expenses of church buildings.”
