How might you invite someone to house church? It's easy if you are convinced that house churches are so biblical that of course you want someone to encounter Christianity in the context of house church. But what if you aren't so convinced?
- Don't worry about inviting them to church. Focus on inviting them into the Christian community. Maybe they won't want to come to a house church meeting until they're converted.
- Run a very informal house church meeting, so that it's not as weird to sit in on. It's much weirder, perhaps, to attend a formal meeting in an informal setting.
- Invite someone to the lunch straight after the regular house church meeting.
- Realise that there are many things that are very attractive about the informal, social, communal rhythm of the house church and don't worry so much
