HOUSE CHURCHES
the network of House Churches is growing, currently in North Wales, Hertfordshire, Dorset,
South Wales, Mid Wales and the Midlands.
Here we introduce a few of the House Churches and their hosts...
'Hi, we are Jonathan & Kathryn and we host a House Church in Welshpool, Powys.
Our heart is for the Lord to build His Church into a community of believers that displays His vibrancy and love to a hurting world. At our gatherings we enjoy a meal, explore the scriptures and worship together, where everyone is encouraged to participate and discipleship takes place naturally.
​
Having previously been involved in leadership for many years in institutional Churches, we now feel privileged to be a part of exciting days where the Church is once again re-discovering it's New Testament roots.
This couple are greatly loved by the family of House Church Leaders and it's such a blessing and honour to have them be a part of the Challenge 100 network. They are great fun and ooze the love of Jesus.

'Hi, we're Jan (Yan) and Polly, we're really excited to be leading a House Church in Coventry in the Midlands. We separately came to faith in Jesus in the early 1980's where we had our first experience of House Church. We married after Polly's service as a missionary in East Africa in the early 2000's, growing closer to God since then. We share a passion for telling others about Jesus, and also helping them to
encounter His love, healing and freedom. We long to see the Church strengthened to bring in the end time harvest that sees His return.
​
Challenge 100 is honoured to have this grounded and solid couple in the House Church Network. From the moment we met them we could see they are very special people who have walked with the Lord for many years. Polly served as a missionary in Tanzania for 10 years and the couple have headed up numerous missionary trips to the nations. We are so excited to see what the Lord will do through them and the Church that meets in their home.

'Hi, we're Nigel & Maria and we have hosted a House Church for the past twelve years at our Farm between Newport & Cardiff after hearing a very clear call from God to help pioneer house church communities in the UK.
Having worked closely with Evangelist Rev Marilyn Harry for many years, we received an impartation and passion to see every believer discipled and released into their God given calling so we stepped out in faith to launch a new testament style House Church in our home in July 2013.
​
We began by targeting our Son's football team Mum's and Dad's and a few folks we met through friendship evangelism and they are still with us today. We love the fact that everyone get's involved and it's very relational. We really believe hospitality and koinonia fellowship is something that has been largely missing from the modern Church and that the House Church model is 'new wineskins for new wine'.
​
We are excited to be a part of a growing network of House Churches, and to be in fellowship with tremendous men and women of God across the UK with the same heart is a huge blessing!
