The Top 10 Things House Church Leaders Should Prioritize (What Makes H4C Different)
The 1KH "A House For Community" coaching cohort combines over 25 years of training, research, and live experience into what we aim to be the best, most comprehensive, impactful, and sustainable programs for launching and growing your house church.
In this episode, we dive into the 10 distinctives that separate A House For Community from the few other options out there when it comes to house church coaching and training.
These are things we've worked long and hard to perfect and include, to be the most theologically robust, but also to be the most practical - to combat the top 10 mistakes we've made and experienced in our own journey (see the last episode for those things to avoid!).
If you're thinking about starting a house church and are considering getting some help, here's why 1KH might be right for you.
At the very least, it'll give you some things to think about as you continue on your journey!
