#microchurches

The Edison House is one of the newest initiatives of the Lake House Network. 

Just North of Martin Luther King Blvd, Edison House is right in the heart of their busy neighborhood. While they’re a part of the Lake House family, they are as unique as their neighborhood, and look to see Jesus in the faces of their neighbors and the people who live life around them. 

As Christians, we find the lion's share of our leadership in service to the lost and the poor. Yet as missionaries, we come to wrestle with the more pointed question concerning where exactly we are sent – and rightly so. 

We thrive in ministry when we find ourselves serving in the places God has called us to, toiling out of our strengths, and laboring in our gifts. In Ephesians 2:10 Paul says, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” There is something that God has for us to do, and it is time well spent when we bring this question before him in hope to hear the answer.

In a couple weeks, we’ll be offering a Calling Lab for our microchurches. This Lab will be held on April 18th from 10am to 6:30pm, and we’re making this available to microchurches specifically. So, of you are interested in join us, we’re asking for three things: 

Come in groups of three or more from your specific microchurch

Bring a coach (who would be your elder or leader)

Email Anthony to register.

In our continuing series to introduce you to our amazing microchurches, we'd like to highlight Unveiled this week. Here is a quick comment from their leadership.

Unveiled’s passion is to walk with women who have been harmed by sexual abuse. From personal history, our leaders know that sexual trauma is terrifying and confusing, and that most women do everything they can to postpone looking at it to begin the healing process. It all seems too overwhelming to tackle. We journey with women as they open the box in their souls that holds their greatest fears and shameful secrets. We offer an emotionally safe place and provide time and space to look at the abuse piece by piece. As women gain understanding of the destructive forces that were set off by their abuse, they can put words to how they feel and connect the past to their current relational struggles. They share their story with others who have a similar history, and they are offered time to give the wounded places in their hearts to Jesus, the only one who can bring deep, lasting healing and freedom to their hearts.

We are honored have so many great ministries in our network, like Free4EverNow! Ministries. Here is a short comment Treasure gave us on her work:
