Sacred House: What Do You Need for a Liturgical, Sacramental House Church

While the House Church Movement is gaining immense popularity throughout many denominational and independent faith communities--collectively standing as the largest "denomination" in the United States--sacramental and liturgical congregations are taking only the most tentative steps toward this venue of worship. Consequently, there exists a vacuum of guidelines or information to support this dynamic ministry model from a uniquely sacramental perspective. In this book, Dr. Andraeas examines the scriptural foundations for liturgical worship; the biblical, theological, and historical precedents for house churches; and how a union between priestly liturgy and house church worship complement and support each other. He concludes with a vigorous challenge for all sacramental and liturgical jurisdictions to engage their seminarians, clergy, and people in embracing this approach to church planting, evangelism, and community ministry while offering thoughtful and obtainable recommendations.
