HOUSE FELLOWSHIP ANTHEM

I Love This Family Of God,
So Closely Knitted Into One
They Have Taken Me Into Their Arms
And I‘m So Glad To Be
A Part Of This Great Family

 ADVANTAGES OF THE HOUSE FELLOWSHIP SYSTEM

1. House Fellowship is capable of meeting the needs of the members in a way the large congregation will not be able to do. Since the number of people in a House Fellowship Centre is relatively few, the immediate as well as intimate needs of the members can easily be met.
2. House Fellowship creates a greater sense of belonging among the members. Each member sees him/herself as belonging to the House Fellowship Centre as a unit and the church as a whole. This sense of belonging enhances growth.
3. It breeds unity in the church. It does this by creating unity among the House Fellowship members.
4. Neighborhood evangelism is made easier through the House Fellowship system.
5. The House Fellowship does not cost as much to run as a full fledged church building, yet it consistently proves to be more efficient.
6. A well-organized House fellowship system eliminates clique formation and informal groups. This elimination is possible because the number of members in the House Fellowship is kept to the barest minimum.
7. Evangelism of church programs can easily be done through interaction with House Fellowship Members.
