Missional House Churches examines house churches in the United States that are making disciples through evangelism and church planting. Based on personal experience, research, and interviews with thirty-three missional house church leaders, this work offers a peek into an area of the church that few have seen.

Topics addressed include: the recent growth in the popularity of house churches in the United States, what defines church, various characteristics of the house churches, methods of evangelism and leadership development which lead to growth, use of financial resources for missions and benevolence, the future of house churches in North America, and the relationship of church planting movements and house churches.

Those interested in learning about house churches, as well as students, missionaries, and mission and church leaders will benefit by knowing what is going on in the world of house churches that are reaching their communities.
