About

The idea of House2House was conceived in 2000 when three businessmen got together and decided to produce a print magazine that would be a resource for the then-emerging house church movement. It grew rapidly — at its height we produced 50,000 copies of one issue that went all around the world. A true periodical, we only produced a new magazine when money became available. As time went on, it seemed hard to justify the expense of a print version, and so H2H became a vibrant, interactive website. Eventually the interest dwindled, and mostly for financial reasons, in 2010 we decided to close the website down.

The website may have stopped. But house churches never did.

Something kept growing in the years we were away. Living rooms filled up. Kitchen tables became communion tables. Neighborhoods became parishes. The simple, relational, every-believer-a-minister expression of church that H2H was built to resource had quietly taken root around the world — and it wasn't slowing down.

So we're back.

We've made the best of what House2House has produced over the years freely available here — articles, videos, and training resources for anyone who is gathering in a home, a coffee shop, a backyard, or anywhere else life happens. The dynamics of a small group are very different from those of a large meeting with its professional musicians and pastors, and these resources are built with that in mind.

Everything on the site is free. If something here is useful to you, we hope you'll use it. And we'd love to hear from you — stories of how you're gathering, what God is doing in your circles, and what you're learning along the way. Those stories encourage and equip everyone who's just getting started.

The Rabbit and the Elephant

Small things multiply more quickly than large. It's one of the most counterintuitive — and most hopeful — truths about how Kingdom movements work. Check out this humorous video with Wolfgang Simson on why small and simple is actually the most powerful growth strategy there is.

 
 

Leadership in the Kingdom

Jesus' view of leadership — and the way he lived and taught it — was very different from what we see in the world, and sadly, in much of the church today. Here's a powerful visual demonstration of what it looks like to lead the way Jesus did.
