Microchurch

Microchurch embodies what we believe to be the essential elements of being the church; a community centered on prayer, scripture, and mission. When we commit ourselves to practicing the essentials in everyday settings, we create an environment in which we learn to follow Jesus in everyday settings.

Life, together, as the family of God.

An environment for formation.

Microchurch is the full expression of Christ’s church in everyday settings and the primary environment in which we learn to follow Jesus. We gather together to pray, read scripture, share a meal, and grow as a family.

Too many discipleship initiatives focus on information– if we can get you to speak the language of Christianity– you’ll be good. But we all know too many who use Christian language to hide a diseased soul. We want a soul-level transformation that helps us to mimic our Jesus. Each of us must work out this transformation in the community trusting that the Spirit of God is completing the work.

We must be in a Jesus community. We need to be surrounded by people who challenge, lift, encourage, and propel us toward Christ; At Midtown Church we call an intentional family of followers a ‘microchurch’ .

Each microchurch takes time each week to eat together, pray together, and share life together. It is in this ordinary rhythm of life, situated in the community, that we become like Jesus and bear witness to his Kingdom.
