During weekly get-togethers at the Walkers&#8217; home in Lakeland, Florida, they&#8217;ve gotten to know their neighbors&#8217; likes and dislikes, spiritual beliefs, and personal stories.<\/p>\n\n<p>The idea for the regular gathering came from their church. Church of the Highlands (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lakelandhighlands.org\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">lakelandhighlands.org<\/a>) emphasizes &#8220;small church families,&#8221; a concept that serves not only to deepen relationships among members, but also to reach the unchurched in a personal manner.<\/p>\n\n<p>More than just small-group Bible studies, small church families provide an ongoing network of relationships for new and growing Christians.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;There is a reason Jesus&#8217; disciples met in homes from the very beginning,&#8221; explains training pastor Robert Beckman.<\/p>\n\n<p>Small churches don&#8217;t start their meeting with a song, nor end with a benediction. These fellowships of 6-10 people may start out with conversation around the dinner table or a backyard barbecue. Laughter and stories are shared as they talk over life&#8217;s challenges or daily bungles, something not as easily done in the rush of a Sunday church service, which Highlands calls &#8220;big church.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>As they bond and study the Bible together, the groups become a spiritual family, where members identify and cultivate their unique gifts, such as hospitality or wisdom.<\/p>\n\n<p>Beckman says that maturing process is more difficult in a big church format, where sometimes only the public gifts, such as leadership or teaching, are acknowledged and developed.<\/p>\n\n<p>In home church families, each person is expected to learn directly from Scripture and share their insights.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;Robbie and I aren&#8217;t Bible scholars,&#8221; Dawn Walker says. &#8220;We were worried about that at first, but then we thought, &#8216;We&#8217;re just here to keep the group on time.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;Each small church family is every bit a church,&#8221; says lead pastor Hal Haller. &#8220;We want them to be missional in reaching out their neighbors, whether or not they ever come to a Sunday morning gathering.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>While big church can be a place for people to check out God at a safe distance, Highlands doesn&#8217;t want visitors to feel like they have to join its programs in order to connect with Christ.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;If they have time to participate in only one thing, I tell them it should be the small church group because that is their family,&#8221; Beckman says.<\/p>\n\n<p>One couple who live near the Walkers decided to attend big church after joining the Walkers&#8217; small church family gathering.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;They said they would never go to church with their neighbors because they were afraid we&#8217;d be watching to see if they were attending regularly or not,&#8221; Dawn Walker says. &#8220;I guess they changed their minds.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>Following the launch of Highlands&#8217; regular &#8220;big church&#8221; Sunday gathering in Lakeland, Haller and other leaders began walking nearby neighborhoods to pray over every home. Leaders then found families willing to open their homes for small neighborhood gatherings.<\/p>\n\n<p>During the first 24 months of its life, Church of the Highlands planted 30 small church families. At the 20-month mark, it sent 70 of its people to start a satellite church, Church of the Highlands at Four Corners, which likewise is planting small church families in its own community.<\/p>\n\n<p>Now they&#8217;re training leaders for a church plant in Daytona.<\/p>\n\n<p>Highlands&#8217; vision is to birth a small church family in every neighborhood throughout Central Florida.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;Our message is that God wants to jump into your world,&#8221; Beckman says. &#8220;Our goal is not so much to become big, but to multiply and make disciples.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-article-copyright\">Copyright &copy; 2006 by the author or Christianity Today\/<em>Leadership<\/em> Journal.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/le\/help\/permissionsprivacy\/permissions.html#answer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"copyright\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> for reprint information on<em>Leadership<\/em> Journal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dawn and Robbie Walker care about their neighbors.
