Instructions for Opening and Reading eBook Products

Description: Brad House calls on churches to wake up to the possibilities for life-transforming, gospel ministry through small groups. In recent years Mars Hill Church, based in Seattle, has experienced the rich blessings that exist within healthy community groups. In Community, House provides a resource for other churches to experience these blessings.

House examines healthy, gospel-centered small groups in three sections. In the first, he lays a foundation for the need and purpose of small-group community. He then presents a big-picture “health plan” for small groups, looking closely at the nuts and bolts of small-group ministry. The book ends with a practical section detailing ways churches can move forward to missional small groups that bless each other, the church, and their communities.

With wisdom and candor, House helps churches think carefully about the state of their own small groups and, where necessary, take steps toward a healthier, gospel-centered community. Pastors and church leaders, as well as small groups, will find this guide to be a catalyst in their growth and development.

Read an Excerpt - PDF

“Community will inspire your small group leaders to grow and maintain healthy, Christ-centered and mission-minded groups. It will be a vital tool for your pastors, church leaders, and small group leaders.”
--Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor, LifeChurch.tv; author, WEIRD: Because Normal Isn't Working

“Christianity is not for Lone Rangers. We are saved by Jesus to be a vital part of a team called the Church, the body of Christ. Community is an excellent book that clearly, theologically, and practically helps us to see what it means to be a biblically functioning community on mission for Jesus. It answers the question ‘why have community groups,’ and it provides a reproducible pattern as to how to implement them. Read it; then go and put its insights into practice.”
--Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

“When people think of Mars Hill, Seattle, they probably of a big church that's big on preaching. In this helpful book, Brad House shows that it is far more than that. But this book isn't merely a description of how Mars Hill does small groups. This is a thoughtful and thorough treatment of the what, why, and even how of gospel-centered, community-focused, mission-shaped small groups. I've been doing church this way for years, and there is a great deal in here to help me as I learn how to do life-on-life, together on mission with the people of God.”
--Steve Timmis, Director, Acts 29 Western Europe; co-author Total Church
