And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together…

Hebrews 10:24-25

What to Expect

When you walk in the door on a Sunday morning, you might notice something a little different about our church: we meet in a home! While we are not proponents of a strictly “house church only” model, for the time being there are several reasons we have chosen to meet this way :

  • Scripture presents the unique benefits of more intimately and deeply connected congregations that meet in homes (Acts 2:46; Acts 5:42; 20:20; 1 Cor. 16:19; Rom. 16:5; Col. 4:15; Phil. 1:2).

  • Our finances are able to be more focused on the immediate needs of the church (support for the pastor, financial struggles, community outreach etc.) rather than large overhead cost from a building.

  • Planting in Southwest Houston becomes more feasible and economical with house churches.

  • The reaction to Covid-19 has shown that buildings become a liability which the government feels they can regulate and control. Meeting in a home provides more freedom for the church to meet when, where, and how we see fit.

  • Our congregation is strategically small because we intend to plant more churches as we grow, rather than increase the size of the building. This allows the pastors to have more intentional, meaningful contact and relationships with church members, thus fulfilling God’s purpose for them as shepherds of His people (Heb. 13:17; 1 Pt. 5:1-4).

Our Sunday service resembles a typical evangelical service, just in a home! There will be announcements, singing, prayer, scripture reading, followed by a sermon that is usually 45 minutes to an hour long. Each week we have a potluck meal after service, Feel free to stay and fellowship with us!

At Redeemer’s Love, we don’t offer a separate “children’s church”—because we love having kids in the service with us! We believe that parents are the primary disciplers of their children (Deut. 6:7; Prov. 22:6; Eph. 6:4), and we value families worshiping and learning together. There is a cry room available for infants and toddlers if needed, but don’t worry—if your little ones make some noise, we see it as a joyful reminder of the next generation being shaped by the gospel.
