What Killed the House Church Movement?
by Gene Edwards
JACKSONVILLE, FL - By the year 2000 there was a national ground swell in America toward something that came to be know being called a “home church movement”.
Just previous to that I was invited to come to the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board to speak to the board of directors there about home churches. Also while on a visit to Southwestern Seminary I found that the majority of the young preachers or ministers there in school were, themselves very interested in training up churches which met in homes. There were also conferences being held all over America which also carried the label, the” house church movement.”
These conferences reached all the way from Massachusetts to Florida. A dozen or more books were appearing on the subject. Fuller Seminary put its considerable prestige behind the house church movement and sponsored what was probably the largest conference held on house churches with leaders spanning the spectrum of speakers.

Gene, You couldn't tell the Spirit-filled folks meeting in our living room and many other kingdom seeking spirit-filled believers that the house church thing is over. Jesus and His church is alive and well in Spirit-led house gatherings.
