The home church vision begins with life multiplying through relationships: one to three, three to twelve, twelve to seventy, and then to the harvest God prepares. Church is not first a building; it is a people who carry witness, formation, and blessing wherever they go.
One Vision
Unity and Mission
Home Church is built to bring people into unity with God and one another in Christ, and to carry God's love outward as a blessing to the people around us.
Two Goals
Mission for Chinese communities, Chinese communities for mission
The vision reaches Chinese-speaking communities wherever they are, not as a political or geographic idea, but as a call to carry the gospel with shared heritage, responsibility, and love.
Three Practices
Shared life, love and equipping, anointing passed on
Shared life
A community where people can be honest, received, supported, and built together as the body of Christ.
Love and equipping
Building one another in love and helping each saint serve from the right place.
Anointing passed on
Every person is formed by spiritual parents and learns to raise spiritual children for the mission entrusted by God.
Four Convictions
Mission, Spirit-filled theology, team ministry, discipleship
Mission-ledFormation serves mission, equipping people to live as spiritual parents and as salt and light.
Spirit-filled theologyGod's word is lived and experienced as people are filled by the Spirit day by day.
Team ministryThe church is the body of Christ, where gifts and callings become visible through service and connection.
DiscipleshipDisciples follow pastors, pastors follow Paul, and Paul follows Christ, so formation can continue across generations.
Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the Lord called me; from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name. He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver. He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.”Isaiah 49:1-3 NIV
And now the Lord says— he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord and my God has been my strength— he says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”Isaiah 49:5-6 NIV
From the vision of family altars, the home church has walked step by step into mission, formation, and pastoral care. This timeline preserves key moments as a readable story of life passed on.
