    Hi Michael. My name is Callum. Im from Melbourne and would like to find a house church in the area. I like many can see plainly that the current building model does not work and is insular. I would like to fellowship in church and grow in my giftings and be amongst other believers who have thought for themselves in light of scripture and not just become part of the flock who is dissatisfied, disinterested, caught up in the new trend, and bored lifeless by sermons that pertain to nothing and are not useful for what scripture intends which is to be geared at current issues in the flock and teaching correcting rebuking and training etc. not just a sermon for sermons sake where they don’t get it even scriptural to begin with. this current model is geared at getting people to follow their desires and get a bigger house, better car etc. instead of being focussed on being strangers and aliens in this world in which we temporarily life with a life of focus of the Lord, his body, then the outside world. we are so entrenched on the idea of setting up our own kingdom that the church is useless, at least the ones who are only in it for their own benefit. I fall behind in all of this in my life as well, but have been blessed in the God has opened my eyes to scriptures that do point to another reality that is possible and I see it in the housechurch movement. I am living in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne in Ringwood. If there is a church in the area that you could let me know of I would greatly appreciate it. Yours sincerely Callum,

      Hi Callum, sorry for the late reply. Have been off fighting fires here and there for a few months. This is a house Church that meet in Melbourne. I can call you if you like.

    Hi
    My name is Anthony
    Just wondering if there is a home Church in the Kilmore Victoria Area

  4. Jake says:

    There are still good churches out there but I have seen myself some preachers that really have said some ridiculous and to me offensive things. If you can’t find the church for you though I don’t see how god would disapprove worshipping at home.

    Hi Michael

    My husband and I came back to Melbourne after a few years in Texas, USA. We live in Diamond Creek, VIC. Desperately looking to join a house church close by or start one ourselves at our home. We did a house church in Texas. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. We miss our house church so badly. We are both gifted in teaching, and I love intercession.

    Hi all,
    Wondering if anyone is interested in home church in Brisbane. My family and I live in Salisbury and Annerley (inner South side). I’ve found Pagan Christianity and Reimagining Church by Frank Viola thought provoking books.
    Please msg me 0422 815 425 if you’re interested to talk.
    Thanks,
    Fran

    • Ian Hannah says:

      The post I am replying to is now over a year old…..maybe by now you have a home church up and running! I am incrementally moving to Toowoomba, and as I am from the bush I am no stranger to having to drive a long way to church. At this stage I am still looking to find a home church in Toowoomba. As a word of warning to anybody who might be inclined to welcome me to worship with their group, I am bitterly disappointed in the meek capitulation of the churches to the government instruction to cease church worship in their buildings. The respective Sanhedrins have also cited liability problems for their temples should anyone contact China flu at any of their sanctioned services as sufficient reason to capitulate. The world would argue that closing churches for the greater good is collateral damage. The bible believer however, acknowledges an adversary who comes to steal kill and destroy, and whose enmity is prophesied in Genesis, ends in Revelations, and is definitely contemporary.

    Hello Michael. Greetings. I was referred to your website and to you by an apostle friend whom I met in Siaya Kenya, and participated in his apostolic meetings. After listening to my own transition from the famed charismatic and Pentecostal church system to the apostolic revelation and practice, our hearts seemed to be in synch. After visiting this page, I’m blessed and encouraged. Blessed by the increasing reception of the practice of the house church and encouraged to know that we’re not alone. I’ve practised the house church since 2002, when I first received this clear understanding.

    Today, we have church in our house, which we call the apostolic house. Saints join my family every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday for fellowship, discipleship and worship, even as we share and care for one another. The practice of the house church is not popular in Kenya but there are those who are slowly seeing the truth and the practice in the Scriptures.

    I thank God for apostle Karrel Sanders for introducing me to you. This is the family of God among whom I belong.

    • Michael says:

      Greetings Peter, Thanks so much for taking the time to connect. I too have been on a journey since around 2002. I belong to a wonderful world wide Apostolic Family which is growing, both in character and the understanding of the Kingdom.
      The great transition from the church age to the Kingdom age is making its way into the spirits of the people of God. It is a wonderful thing see and be apart of.

  8. Derek says:

    The following quote was authored by Billy Graham in the year 1965. Is his prediction coming to pass in our time?

    “Multitudes of Christians within the church are moving toward the point where they may reject the institution that we call the church. They are beginning to turn to more simplified forms of worship. They are hungry for a personal and vital experience with Jesus Christ. They want a heartwarming personal faith. Unless the church quickly recovers its authoritative Biblical message, we may witness the spectacle of millions of Christians going outside the institutional church to find spiritual food. Quoted in “World Aflame,” pp. 79-80

      Greetings Derek, Thank for taking the time to leave a comment. He was an amazing man who live and breathed His purpose whilst here on earth. Once Again, Thank you for leaving your great comment.

    Hi, I live in Girrawheen, Western Australia. I am hoping you can help me find house churches near me, thank you.

      Hi Emanuela, Keep an eye this article and the response’s to your question. We don’t know of a group in your area at this time, however someone may contact you from that area via this article.

  11. Alison says:

    My husband and I were in a home church in Beckenham W.A. for years but after more than 30 years of hosting the fellowship the lady of the house became too ill for it to continue. We’ve been waiting and praying for a long time for it to start again but decided it’s time to find somewhere else. We live SOR in Armadale. 0439478339

    • Michael says:

      Greetings Alison, seems to me you have been discipled well in the House Church ministry. Have you considered starting one or continuing the ministry of your dear sister in Lord.

      • Alison says:

        Hi Michael, thanks for replying. My husband and I will pray about your suggestion of hosting the church. The brother that started the home church in Beckenham (who now cares for his wife) knew his bible so well that if anyone had questions he would know where to direct us to find answers in our bibles. He was definitely gifted with teaching but my husband hasn’t received that gift and I know it’s not my place to teach. If it’s what Our Lord wants for us to host then He will provide for the needs of His church. Praise God

  16. Brent Roberts says:

    We have had Church in my shop in Wundowie West. Aust. Michael. From what I have seen in the hills area of Perth people are getting fed up with some of the main stream Churches. One Church I was going to a few years back folded up and others are close to it. We still have a good Pastor ready to lead and all that’s needed to form a home/shop church. We stopped a while back due to lack of attendance and the Pastors wife becoming ill. If you have enough requests for a home Church in this area we can certainly start up again and cater for specific needs such as service times etc. after talking to interested parties.

    • Michael says:

      Hey Brent,
      Thanks for commenting, we do encourage it. I raced Karts at your local go kart track many years ago, nice place in the world is Wundowie.
      Thanks for the offer on house church. We are encouraging users to explore our web site members area for spiritual food and to hear His voice clearly. Although our article on House Church Australia has sparked much conversation, my immediate thought on people leaving traditional church is What are they doing now?
      As a Governing Co Elder in God’s House in my local geography, it is not so much for me to feed the people, but to lead them to green pastures. Thats one of the mindsets He has transitioned my out of, its also the way I see my function on this web site sometimes.
      God has not stopped speaking, we must continue to walk in obedience to His voice. God is a speaking spirit and is still walking in the midst of the garden and is there for all who have an ear to hear.
      It is true that many have found the Lord again in house church style meetings, but the principle of leadership in God’s House still apply. The Five Fold ministry gifts are actually arising in our meetings and are growing in stature like never before. Gods people are being changed and transitioning in their mindset to what the Lord is doing now, not what he was doing yesterday.
      True he has not changed, nor will he change. His ways are above our ways. But I and others have settled this in our spirit now.
      He is on a journey through eternity and is up to us to follow Him were ever he may lead us!

  17. Ann Johnstone says:

    I have been involved in OIKOS for over ten years. This is a house church resource movement that was originally started by a former Anglican minister (female) by the name of Bessie Pereira, who left the institutional church because she believed that the New Testament model was nothing like today’s version of ‘church’. Sadly, Bessie died several years ago, and most of the house churches that I had in my data base no longer exist – unless they’ve gone ‘under the radar’. Now I believe God is drawing me back into this ‘house church’ model, and I’m hoping to find people in my area who are interested. It’s only in the past week that I’ve begun to realize God is prompting me to go ahead and take a bold step of faith. I’d be interested to hear if anyone in the Mount Eliza area (an outer southern suburb of Melbourne next to Frankston) is interested in being involved. At present nothing is planned such as a suitable home, etc) – but I’d love to hear from anyone who feels this may be the way to go. I have had experience in leadership in denominational churches, home fellowship groups and house churches – although that’s not important. In fact it’s often easier to start with mainly new Christians rather than those who have become disillusioned with the traditional ‘church’ over the years, and/or have come up with their own version of what should happen!
    Anyway, I’ll become a member of this group for a start, so that possibilities can be discussed. Or if you’re on Facebook Messenger you can find me there. https://www.facebook.com/ea.johnstone (Ann Johnstone)

  18. Ruth says:

    Hi Michael

    I am interested in a Home Church? Years ago i left the Pentalcostal movement due to personal issues , it was i guess similar to Word of Faith , (Richmond Assembly of God) which if i walked in there now is extremely similar to Hillsong… after everything i have researched, no it is not a good fit, at all. Unfortunately i went further on into the New Age movement and now i am seriously thinking about christianity again but the churches are so New Age these days bordering on satanic. I am looking for a home church I am in the Doncaster Vic, area? Please pray for me so that i can in this interim time grow in my faith in God, getting to know Jesus again. Blessings for this website..

    • Joan says:

      Hi Michael, would you please forward this message to Ruth if you are able? Thank you. Joan

      Hi Ruth,

      I just read your message from a year ago. I also came on this site looking for possible house church connections. I am only about 20 minutes from Doncaster, Victoria. Have you found a house church yet? I’m happy to meet with you for a coffee to discuss possible options. I have been a Christian for years and have also had my eyes opened to the troubles in the institutional churches. I just said a prayer for you. If you feel led to, please contact me via email.
      God bless you,

  24. Jesse says:

    Hello All,

    I have read through this blog and some stories blessed me in hearing your passion and hope for good things. So I thought it would be good too share a few things also.

    I grew up in a Christian home and was very involved in a Baptist church, looking back now I can see that In my mind I desired too do the will of God according to his word but the power to perform it I didn’t have and couldn’t earn. I did not yet know the grace of God which he has given in his Son.
    It was about 5 years ago the Lord called me by his grace and revealed his Son in me! For the first time I was free to serve God not as I once did by seeking to create my own righteousness, but through the righteousness which is of God by Faith! I had peace 🙂

    It was after this I leaned there where many struggles that come with remaining in the Love of God, this came from friends, family, church etc. but I have also found that In the Lord their is a friend that is closer than a brother, and the Lord puts the lonely into families and their is one Church indeed. It seems this blog is very aware that church isn’t a place, or a group of people intellectually agreeing on a statement of faith, but the Church is made up of those who have fellowship with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. There is One Spirit that those who belong too he Lord drink of, there is one Lord, one Faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in them all!:) Bless the Lord, I am encouaraged.

    If there is anyone here in Western Australia that would like someone to talk about the Lord with, my wife and I live in Bassendean and would love too here from you and Lord willing catch up. My number is 0401 177 591.

    The Lords peace with you all that are in Christ Jesus:)

  25. Austin says:

    Hi Michael,
    I’d just like to say thanks for maintaining this blog and comments feed as a means of contact. I did get in touch with David H and his wife some 2 weeks ago and after some discussion, ended up at their place today for lunch and a time of fellowship.

    We had a time of sharing around the Bible from around mid morning and then a BBQ lunch “under the house” – sort of an ‘underground church meeting’ if you like! It was nice and cool down there with the breeze, despite Brisbane’s current heat and rained in weather. We talked and shared until the late afternoon. We talked a lot about our past experiences within the church scene and also our hopes for the future, in view of the state of our nation and of the world in general. I must say that it was well worth the effort to travel and spend the time with these two saints.

    I’d also like to say that I’m encouraged to have met these people through the Lampstand blog and that it just goes to show that there are true believers seeking fellowship with others in this city of Brisbane. Small is probably a good way to start and I don’t know what the future holds for us, but I just want to say to everyone that comes across your blog from time to time, to not give up, but to persevere in your search for genuine fellowship with others who are like minded.

    Hi Michael, A friend sent me your article and I would like to visit the house church in Perth. Can you please send me the address. I am happy to open my house up to a group also if anyone is interested please let me know. I live South of the river in Belmont.

  28. Joanna says:

    Hi, I searched for gatherings of Gods people when I first arrived in Perth 7 years ago and did come across something but didnt get follow up of it. I was blessed to grow up in 70s and 80s in both constitutional church and where two or more are gathered He is in the midst of and they are so different and of course gathering together without the politics is where His Spirit can freely move. I have a link here from John Fenn talking with aminutetomidnite to add to this thread for those interested which I just came across this year as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydEt7A1Xl64. John Fenn has more on his website and youtube channel. In the 90s a guy wrote about this very thing of house church and was sharing it in New Zealand and most there, which were few were only searching for somewhere else to be fed and not grow but I mean thats the control thats been instilled to keep people from knowing the full truth but I do think there is fear to be free and to be guided by Christ alone. I am interested to know if there are any gatherings South of the river in Perth.
    Thank you.

  29. Ross Denby says:

    Hi Michael, We have just realised that because of disillusionment with organised religion we wish to either join a home church of on fire christians or start one in our area. We live in country Victoria in Bass a town near Phillip Island. Any help you can give would be appreciated greatly
    Ross and Tracey

    • Richard says:

      Hi Ross, I don’t know if you might read this, however I am not very far from you in Wonthaggi. I am interested in finding a church in a house. Perhaps you might be able to help me connect. I am currently alone in my faith.

  30. Janet says:

    Hi Michael, thanks for this article. I live in Adelaide, South Australia. My husband and I have experienced many of the problems that you write about with institutional church life over 35 + years. We withdrew our feet from these institutions about 10 years ago, believing the Lord had directed us thus. Consequently, we went on a journey with the Lord. He blessed our fellowship together and took us more deeply into His Word, His Character and Nature. We fellowshipped around the Word with anyone who was happy to drop by. We were free in the Spirit. If we could have found a home fellowship that was bible centered, and had a Christian world, where one knew them by their fruits, we would have gladly joined ourselves with them. However, this did not happen and after searching in our corner of the vineyard for a home fellowship it appeared there were none. Though we felt alone at times, we were not lonely nor felt forsaken because we had beautiful fellowship with each other and Jesus. My husband passed suddenly and peacefully this year, 2017, he was 72. He ran the race he begun around 1964 and finished the course and although I thought we ran side by side, he was ahead of me and I realised we must all run our own race in the end (I was blessed to have him part of the way).
    So here I am alone, but not lonely with Jesus, and fellowship with the body is scarce. It would be wonderful to find a home fellowship in my area. if you hear of any true fellowships could you let me know?
    God bless, Janet

    Hello, do you know of any home church in the Cairns area. Regards Will Nash.

    • Jan Prince says:

      I live in the Cairns area and am also wondering if there is a home church in Cairns area. I believe it is more biblical to just meet in one another’s homes instead of the impersonal groups that meet at a ‘building’ call it church and the believer seems to be more of a spectator than an active member of the body of Christ.

      • Hi Jan,
        My friend Miriam and I live in Edmonton and we are seeking to start a home gathering. We love practicing the Lord’s Table the way it was practiced in the New Testament. We believe all God’s people are the church and, as the priesthood of all believers, everyone has a valuable testimony/teaching/song/word of encouragement which needs to be shared with the rest of the body. We would love to meet with you in the near future.

    • Hi Will, I am Monica and I meet with my friend Miriam in Edmonton. We would love to meet with you. You can contact me via my email if you like. monica@inhisname.com.au

    Do you have a house church in Newcastle NSW?

    • Michael says:

      Greetings John, Not aware of any house churches in your area at this time, however we will keep in touch if any thing arises in your area.

  36. Michael says:

    I agree with most of this article. However ,after leaving denominations I found it very difficult to even find house churches. Sometimes they can be a closed group and church today has become a distrusting people often suspicious of others. In recent history scandals and anti christian motives have been emphasised. However this cannot stop the Truth of the Apostolic Faith message as its historically true. Jesus was the Messiah and was raised from the dead by the God of Israel . There is only One Church in Gods plan .The true Jew is one inwardly of the heart of Faith. To be Baptised and receive the gift of Holy Spirit is all you need to be accepted. Thats what make one a part of the Church. The life you continue to live is a journey of Revelation in Gods power. Traditions of men ,and legalistic Doctrine in church history often robes believers of the true call of God.

  37. Ivy says:

    I am interested to know if you are aware of home churches/gatherings in Armidale, NSW. We are moving to the area and want to find a group to connect with.

  38. Austin says:

    Hi folks. I’ve not been able to find a decent church here in Brisbane for the last 2 years. I have attended several home church gatherings prior to that time, but they no longer exist, as those running them have sold out to the denominations where their business interests have taken them. There’s not much online in terms of new groups and those that had websites several years have disappeared. Quite often, such groups are many miles away – too far to travel, and you could never consider yourself a member of a local home church if you spent hours travelling to and from such a group.

    I live in inner Brisbane and am seeking genuine fellowship only – no “churchianity” for me…

    I’d like to stay in touch via the blog site, and feel free Mr/Mrs Moderator to contact me via my email if you can help

    • Spencer says:

      Austin, I live on the northern outskirts of Brisbane at North Lakes. I’ve been searching for a house church locally for years and found one at Burpengary where the people were crawling around the house floor and barking like dogs. That wasn’t for me. I wrote about it in ‘Charismatic chaos in a Brisbane house church’ on my homepage.

      I’m still at the searching stage. I am tired of the programme-based, building oriented church. It’s time for a return to the organic church of the first century, where every member is a minister and people are not told to sit and listen while a few perform.

  39. Judy says:

    I have loved the concept of home churches for many years, and really applaud the sentiments expressed here. I see small groups, such as those described by Juan Carlos Ortiz in his classic book ‘Disciple’ – loving, nurturing and caring for one another – the only way we’ll truly grow to maturity, spiritually. It’s possible to attend ‘church’ for a myriad of years and never get beyond the ‘hello, how are you stage?’ If anyone knows of a home church movement in Launceston, Tasmania, where Jesus is preeminent, I would love to know of, and be a part of it, God willing. Thanks heaps! Judy

    Amen! Bless you all for providing this information! May the Lord God abundantly bless and prosper you as you continue to serve in the name of His Lordship- Jesus Christ. Our family has just been moved out of another Pentecostal Church by the Holy Spirit of God who resides inside of each of us. I understand the persecution that pursues when one doesn’t conform to the standards set by a religious spirit. This nasty religious spirit likes to manifest itself even in the Leadership of Pentecostal churches. My husband and I are currently really seeking God on matters pertaining to the state of the church in Australia as it breaks our hearts to see how the religious spirit causes such division amongst all of His people. We do not believe that God wants us to be members of any particular church at this point of time but we know- deep within our spirits that God has called the two of us into ministry. We are looking forward to reading more information on this page and thank the Lord for the encouragement that has come our way today simply from the reading of this one page. WE just praise the Lord God almighty that there are so many people who are willing to fight in the spiritual battle against satan and win the victory! I hope that this comment that I have written encourages you too. As true followers of Christ- all of us need all of the encouragement that we can get. We look forward to following this page and seeing what God can teach us through the information contained here.

    Psalm 47:9 The Passion Translation of the Bible
    All the nobles and princes,
    the loving servants of the God of Abraham,
    they all gather to worship.
    Every warrior’s shield is now lowered
    as surrendered trophies before this King.
    He has taken his throne, high and lofty exalted over all!

    I totally agree with the fact that God is gathering his true elect out of dead denominations…. Mainly because God has been pushed out of the structure of the Church. The Holy Spirit has been resisted and pushed into a corner. The full use of the body can’t be made. It’s like a paralysed human body. It’s like SAUL of the Old Testament after God had rejected him.That’s what the structured church is presenting to God. So the Holy Spirit says come out of her, She would have been healed, but she has refused to be healed. David is a type of those who come out. Those that followed DAVID became captains during his reign while Jonathan died with SAUL. Those who will reign with Christ must also follow him outside the Camp of religion characterized by one man headship doctrine. Which is Saulish.
    In Nigeria simple house Churches emerged as back as the late 70s and mainly in the 80s . And to the glory of God many have seen the light and can no longer go back to Babylonic bondage . It’s an upward call to the glories of Christ. Keep pressing on Brethren

    Hi, are you aware of any house churches in NSW on the Far South Coast?
    We currently fellowship at home and are interested to know if there is anyone near us we could meet with. Thanks, God bless you and draw you close to Himself.

  43. An interesting topic Michael. In Perth, I don’t really know of many house churches. My understanding of the New Testament model was that the christians were being fed to the lions, so they met in houses. From the New Testament model, Apostles plant churches. When we got saved in Broome, the church was planted by Pastor Rod, and came under Frank Hultgren. One issue that I am seeing in Perth, is we know two ladies who don’t go to a church, but watch Kenneth Copeland on T.V. and so I wonder how does that constitute fellowship. One of them goes over east every year to attend Kenneth Copeland Outreaches. God has an army, and he has order in his army, so as long as you are being led by the Spirit, then you are sons of God. I read recently of a Lecturer at Bible College who shared something to his students. It was a statement attributed to a Rev Sam Pascoe and referred to the history of the church in short. He said: Christianity started in Palestine as a fellowship. It moved to Greece and became a philosophy, it moved to Italy and became an Institution, it moved to Europe and became a culture, it came to America and became an Enterprise. It is supposed to be a Body, but has become a Business. One student then asked the question: When a body becomes a business, doesn’t it then become a Prostitute? There was silence in the class. God’s Blessings.

      Greetings Chris, Yes we experienced something quite different in Broome, well compared to what I see now in the body it was very different up in Broome. One thing I notice is the closeness we had and how the Lord moved in us and took most of us on to perfection. We are still being perfected however the way it was done and the way brother rasp and sister sand paper. The business that it has become has sure made a big difference, if I could out it down to one thing, it has produced many believers but not so many disciples.

    I think other web website proprietors should take this site as an model, extremely clean and great user friendly style and design, as well as the content. You’re an expert in this topic!

  46. Toby Frazier says:

    Would the apostle approve of your denomination’s practices? Or is it just possible that he would tell you that some of your most cherished beliefs were in ERROR? How would you feel if he stood up and loudly proclaimed that your church was a promoter of HERESY? What if he said that your religious practices were totally CONTRARY to those of the early church formed immediately after the death of Jesus Christ?

    • Michael says:

      Greetings Toby, Our Apostolic father did all those things you mention above to us. But would like to say that he did them in a very loving and respectful manner. Over time he has and continues to correct us lead to the path of life with the Five Fold Ministry being raised up in our midst. We are Sons of God, not so much Christians anymore.
      Michael and Jennifer.

    • Gabrielle says:

      Hi Toby,
      Yes this is what we really need to examine in these days of apostasy. We are dealing with the Laodecean church I think. God bless take care Gabe
