While the House Church Movement is gaining immense popularity

throughout many denominational and independent faith

communities""collectively standing as the largest "denomination" in the

United States""sacramental and liturgical congregations are taking only

the most tentative steps toward this venue of worship. Consequently,

there exists a vacuum of guidelines or information to support this

dynamic ministry model from a uniquely sacramental perspective.

In this book, Dr. Andraeas examines the scriptural foundations for

liturgical worship; the biblical, theological, and historical precedents

for house churches; and how a union between priestly liturgy and house

church worship complement and support each other. He concludes with

a vigorous challenge for all sacramental and liturgical jurisdictions to

engage their seminarians, clergy, and people in embracing this approach

to church planting, evangelism, and community ministry while offering

thoughtful and obtainable recommendations.
