Church Hill
Land/McNeely - Monday Nights
Our house church is a spiritual family connected by food, laughter, persistent prayer for one another, and our love for Jesus. We meet each Monday night from 6:30-8:30 to share a meal and, through our monthly rhythm, spend time in worship, Bible study, prayer, service, and having fun! We are committed to supporting each other inside and outside of our house church time. We are currently made up of singles and young families, but want to be home to those seeking a spiritual family in any stage of life. We are a family to lean on for the big and little things, whether you need your dog walked or prayer over a life changing decision.

Spanish (Tu Hogar) House Church - First Monday Night of Each Month
Tú Hogar is a welcoming Bible study group created to serve and connect our Spanish-speaking community. We gather once a month, on the first Monday, from 7:30-9:00pm.
Our house church is a place where everyone is seen, heard, and supported. We take time to check in with one another, pray together, share a meal, and study God’s Word. We also work together to find resources, information, and support that members may need for everyday life.
The House church is in Spanish. If you are looking for a place to grow in God’s Word, build meaningful relationships, find support within a caring community and that is in Spanish, Spanish House Church (Tú hogar) is for you.

Oakwood
Oakwood House Church - Tuesday Nights
Oakwood House Church welcomes all who want to come hang out with our large, intergenerational (and sometimes loud) extended family as we journey with Jesus together. Our regular rhythms include meeting (most often at the Wijes' house) on Tuesday evenings from 630-830p to enjoy a potluck meal and follow an "up-in-out" theme for our gatherings. Up gatherings often include worship, Bible reading, and prayer. In gatherings often include game nights, sharing and prayer, or celebrating a life moment for someone in the group. Out gatherings seek to engage one of our missional spaces, including the schools we work at and attend, Urban Hope, and Ruakh Arts. We are continually seeking spaces to do both justice and mercy in as a group. We have a strong core of "regulars" who range in age from 1 to 60’s (a few young kids, a cluster of middle schoolers, singles and young marrieds, and moms and dads) and then several family members who are strongly tied to us through spiritual bonds but not able to "attend" our gatherings as regularly during this life stage.

Fairfield
Persons of Peace - Tuesday Nights
We are a very diverse family of both singles and couples, churched and unchurched and different ethnic groups. We are all very active in the community and try our best to make sure House Church remains a place to be nourished and refreshed and not just another thing to do. We are very open to new people and have been described as comfortable and fun. We pride ourselves in being able to have hard conversations and still function together and love each other well despite our disagreements. We are a place that is safe to grow, learn and question together and we can't wait to meet you.

Chimborazo
Chimbo House Church - Wednesday Nights
The Chimbo House Church meets every Wednesday evening from 6-7:30 where we share a meal once a month, study God's word together, and connect over prayer with and for each other. We are a mix of singles, couples, and families with young kids. We are a group with a family feel where connecting to each other and God is the primary focus. We desire to know and enjoy Our Father. Mostly made up of members in serving vocations, we find rest and mutual support in each other.

Fulton
Friday Night Fire
Friday Night Fire is a Fulton-focused House Church with a heart for anyone in the neighborhood (and beyond) who is hungry to grow in Jesus. Our House Church was birthed out of one family's personal weekly Bible Study and worship rhythm and has evolved to include both EEF covenant community members and neighbors from our surrounding blocks.
Our night begins at 6pm with a shared meal. This is followed by worship and a short Bible Study that is engaging for adults and children alike. We then have fellowship by the fire (often with s'mores) and/or an extended time of prayer for those who desire it. There is no set end time and folks trickle out. We seek to be a place where people who may not feel comfortable setting foot in a church building have the chance to meet Jesus and experience the joy and justice of his kingdom.
We have been amazed that while each week may come with a different combination of people, God is always so faithful to show up and demonstrate his love through people even in new relationships, and we have seen him do so every week. We invite anyone who would like to both grow in Christ and join in on God's heart for the neighborhood of Fulton to check it out.
