It is a semi-regular gathering opportunity where we move Sunday church from the tent to other, small locations.

As the name suggests, C@H is church, but in a smaller gathering. However, the goal is not to recreate a corporate Sunday service in a living room. Church means “a gathering of believers,” and C@H allows this to happen in a more intentional format.

C@H may include aspects of a typical church service, such as worship, teaching, and ministry—but it doesn’t have to. Here are some additional elements that can be part of C@H:

• Food

• Fellowship

• Intentional Questions

• Bible Study

• Testimonies

• Prayer

• Kids’ Activities

Typically, about 3 to 4 times per year. We try to give a few months notice of any upcoming C@H.

As the name suggests, typically at a host home. However, a host could choose any reasonable location (e.g. park, cafe, etc.) Corporate church will not happen as per usual in the tent when we have C@H.

According to the Bible, everyone in the body of Christ has something of value to contribute. Whether small or large, significant or seemingly insignificant, everyone can show up with a level of intentionality to give and to receive. (1 Cor. 14:26-27)

This doesn't mean you have any leadership responsibilities. Examples could look like...

• If C@H is a potluck, provide a meaningful food item if you can

• If you love to worship, bring a heart of praise

• If you are an encourager, speak life and be curious to meet new friends

• If you love to pray, be willing to ask God to bless others

• If you love fun or fellowship, consider helping create an opportunity

It's like any other C@H; however we encourage people engage in something intentional with the outdoors, if possible.

It could be an actual camping excursion at a destination, but doesn't need to be. Some advance planning and reservations may be required depending on where you choose to go.

Some hosts have simply gathered around a fire pit, camped in their backyard, while others have had a BBQ or an outdoor movie.

C@H is a great way to welcome guests into the community. Many people may feel more comfortable attending a living room gathering before going to a church service.

Of course, always ensure the host is comfortable with the invited guests.
