About Home Church & Groups

We present the concept of "Free Christians Australia Neighbourhood Friends" as a model for informal groups of people Church going and non Church going Christians that Love Jesus.

Free Christians are  happy to offer any practical assistance or advice to Church going or non Church going Christians who desire to enjoy the freedom of informal gatherings in their neighbourhood.

Free to love, share and support

Friends meeting in homes is nothing new, in fact that's how the early Christians would get together. People opened their homes as places of praise, worship, refreshing and refuge from all the cares and problems of this world.

Christians from all backgrounds basically desire to unite in the Love of Jesus and to support one another in that love. This unity is best experienced in the various informal gatherings of believers.

Many churches place a lot of emphasis and rightly so to the benefits involved in home group meetings. For those not familiar with church jargon, home groups or cells are something like "mini church services" with a less formal structure. In such meetings Christians ( and those interested to join Christians ) find the opportunity to get to know one another and Christ in a more personal way.

Many People Find Home Groups A Great Place to Fellowship

Not to belittle the formal Sunday gatherings of praise and worship at all, but the home group will always offer every person present, whether they be coming back to church, or a recent convert or just an enquirer, the opportunity to ask or share on how the knowledge and wisdom of Jesus makes a difference to life and living today without feeling uncomfortable.

Friends gathering in Jesus' name can always rest assured of the promise of Jesus being in their midst.

Fellowship in the home does not necessarily require leaders or hierarchy ( depending on how formal or informal they are ) for Jesus is the Head of the universal church and this Headship is the common ground in which all believers everywhere and anytime are enabled to stand with confidence before God the Father.

Leadership has to do mainly with the administration and structure of church organizations and institutions which deal with money and other matters that require government supervision.

Organised churches with their many ministries can serve as valuable resources for all the community including friendship groups.

The church is wherever people gather in the Lord's name. Thousands of people Fellowship in homes across the World ( and in Australia ) on various days and nights.

Everyday people and friends that share a love for Jesus can come together to offer that which is in their hearts, that is, love with support and understanding for one another, in a non-threatening environment.

In the context of such freedom ( without the red tape of religion! ) all of us Christians may come to the fullness of Jesus in our day to day living as we become united to one another and making up for each other's short comings or needs. Of course that which we cannot provide amongst ourselves we always entrust to the Lord in the full confidence of His love and grace.

Just like safety houses in the community provide places of refuge for all people when in danger, many Christians are also opening their homes to all, as places of safety, where every person can be welcomed as a friend and be free from any abusive forms of religion.

Communities and neighbourhoods only stand if the people therein are united in common ground. Jesus gives us a common ground to unite on and a common need for one another also and not just for our own sakes only, but for the sake of our neighbourhood and community both for today and tomorrow.

There are seven days in a week and 24 hours in the day that you may seek, worship or praise God, whether it be in a building on Sundays or in a home on weekdays. Again we must always remember that "Church" is wherever people are gathered in Jesus' name.
