By "organic church," I mean a non-traditional church that is born out of spiritual life instead of being constructing by human institutions and held together by religious programs. Organic church life is a grass roots experience that is marked by face-to-face community, every-member functioning, open-participatory meetings (opposed to pastor-to-pew services), non-hierarchical leadership, and the centrality and supremacy of Jesus Christ as the functional Leader and Head of the gathering. Put another way, organic church life is the experience of the Body of Christ. In its purest form, it's the fellowship of the Triune God brought to earth and experienced by human beings.

This web site is a service to the explosive house church/organic church movement throughout the world. Today, over 112 million Christians worldwide do not attend a traditional church. Every year, one million Christians leave the institutional church in the United States. Presently, the number of adult Christians meeting in house church/organic churches in the USA is five million. This number is growing by the day. That is where this site comes in. As you explore this site, you will find some of the best house church/organic church resources available. Books, manuals, audio messages, articles, and other helps can easily be found here. If you find this site to be helpful in your spiritual journey, please tell your friends about it. You also have permission to link to this site on your web page, blog, or newsletter. Finally, this site is in production. We are regularly updating it with new resources. For example: in the future, we plan to add an "Ex-Pastors" page as a service to pastors who have left the institutional church or who are thinking about leaving it. So check back often.
