House Church
Seven Mile Road is a congregation of House Churches - groups of people cultivating relationships with God, one another, and the community. These groups are designed to meet at the intersection of Word and Prayer + Meal and Mission. House Church is the primary way to connect with others at Seven Mile Road and engage our city. For us, House Churches have represented a biblical approach to our mission, where we see communities of people, geographically based, seeking to bring the redemptive story of God to their neighbors in a block-by-block movement.
Connecting to House Church
If you are looking to engage with us here at Seven Mile Road, we would love for you to jump into House Church Foundations where you can connect into our family. Here you will experience living at the intersection of Word and Prayer + Meal and Mission, and then plant new House Churches in your part of the city!
House Church Foundations will kick off in August, meeting on Sundays from 4-6pm (childcare provided) or Wednesdays from 7-9pm (childcare reimbursed). We will follow our House Church monthly rhythms outlined below.

Monthly Rhythms
Week 1: Prayer meeting
This is a chance for us to come together for corporate, urgent, unified prayer. This fuels all that we do. We meet at 7pm on the first Wednesday of every month.
Week 2: Word and Prayer
This is a 2 hour meeting that is built around telling the truth about ourselves and God. This is where we taste real community and apply God’s Word to real life.
Week 3: meal night
This is a chance for neighbors, co-workers, and friends to come and experience a taste of our community. This is about having fun, eating good food, and reaching out to new people.
Week 4 (and 5): word and prayer
This is a 2 hour meeting that is built around telling the truth about ourselves and God. This is where we taste real community and apply God’s Word to real life.
Childcare for House Churches
We are committed to parents experiencing concentrated and vulnerable discussions, as they are transformed by the community and God's Word to be the primary disciple-makers in their homes. Therefore, we reimburse the cost of childcare for Prayer Meeting corporately and Word + Prayer Nights across all House Churches. Each House Church is responsible for coordinating childcare for their group's needs, whether that is centralized in one home or spread across multiple.
Please contact your House Church Shepherd, or our House Church team, for additional questions about childcare and the reimbursement process!
Moving to a different part of the city?
If you are already in a House Church but have moved elsewhere in the city or need to change your meeting day based on a schedule change, please talk with your House Church Shepherd and then fill out this form. Someone from our House Church team will then reach out to you to connect you with the House Church nearest to you on your preferred day.
