How a small group became an international family of churches committed to church planting worldwide Today the church is waking up to the simple and successful house-to-house strategy practiced by the New Testament church 2000 years ago. House to House documents how God led a small group of young believers in Pennsylvania to become an international house-to-house movement. DOVE International transitioned from a cell-based mega church into a family of cell-based churches and house churches networking together throughout six continents of the world. Larry Kreider candidly draws from years of victories and defeats to communicate lessons of operating in a new church paradigm, including: • How to lead a small group or house church effectively • Reaching the lost through small groups and house churches • How to operate as a leadership team • How to multiply small groups and start new churches This book presents the values of small group and house church dynamics with lots of field-tested practical insights to help you on your journey. It serves as an invaluable tool to train potential leaders and provides an overall paradigm with which to “do” church.
