We started the new church October 29th, in the apartment of one of our grad students. It has been awesome!!!! Some days we’ll spend up to eight hours together–not because we have to, but because we WANT to. Three of those hours are usually prayer/bible study/worship, and then we eat lunch together and fellowship.

We are experiencing Acts 2 fellowship like we’ve never seen before. And the Sunday before Christmas we had a really special blessing. Two of our members were baptized (we borrowed a local church facility for that.) Both of them have come to a relationship with Christ while at CMU–one of them just since the church started.

In the Spring we’re hoping to branch off and add two more house churches. We’re just growing too big for the one apartment. Then we’ll all come back together every third week for a corporate worship time and a meal.

Another exciting thing is that our church has a passion and a heart for the nations. That is something that is important to us. We want to be about God’s GLOBAL purposes, and that is already starting to happen.

It’s been incredible. God is good. People around us think we’re crazy, since it’s totally untraditional and we live in a strongly “religious” area.
