For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also Luke 12:34
Our Vision
Our vision at House to Home is to build a relationship with Jesus, with one another, and to reach the world from house to house, city to city, and nation to nation. Our number one priority is to exalt Jesus Christ as Lord, to obey His word, and encourage and equip each believer (adult, youth and children) for the work of the ministry through cell group ministry.
We seek to work alongside the Holy Spirit in helping every believer to be set free from all forms of bondage: spiritual, emotional, and physical (Isaiah 61:1). We seek to grow in our freedom to declare our love for God through the gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor. 12:8-11) and all forms of worship, dance, and drama. We desire to work in unity with all the Christian churches in our region.
Our Values
1. Knowing God the Father Through His Son Jesus Christ and Living by His Word is the Foundation of Life
We believe that the basis of the Christian faith is to know God through repentance for sin, receiving Jesus Christ as Lord, building an intimate relationship with Him, and being conformed into His image. John 3:16, Rom. 10:9
2. It is Essential for Every Believer to be Baptized with the Holy Spirit and be Completely Dependant on Him
We recognize that we desperately need the Person and power of the Holy Spirit to minister effectively to our generation. Changed lives are not the product of men's wisdom, but in the demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit as modeled in the New Testament church. 1 Cor. 12:1-4, 14:39-40
3. The Great Commission Will Be Completed Through Prayer, Evangelism, Discipleship, and Church Planting.
We are committed to helping fulfill the Great Commission through prayer and fasting, evangelism, discipleship, and church planting locally, nationally, and internationally, reaching both Jew and Gentile. Matt. 28:18-20
4. Relationships are Essential in Building God's Kingdom
Serving others and building trust and relationships is a desired experience in every area of church life. We believe the best place to begin to serve and experience trust and relationship is in the cell group. Acts 2:42-47, Eph. 4:13-16, Gal. 5:13-14
5. We are Committed to Spiritual Familes, Spiritual Parenting, and Intergenerational Connections
Believing that our God is turning the hearts of the fathers and mothers to the sons and daughters in our day, we are committed to spiritual parenting on every level of church and ministry life. Mal. 4:5-6, 1 Cor. 4:15-17
6. Spiritual Multiplication and Reproduction Must Extend to Every Sphere of Kingdom Life and Ministry
Multiplication is expected and encouraged in every sphere of church life. Cell groups should multiple into new cells and churches should multiply into new churches. Church planting must be a long term goal of every congregation. Acts 9:31, Mk. 4:20
7. Every Christian is Both a Priest and a Minister
According to the scriptures, every Christian is a priest who needs to hear from the Lord personally. Every believer is called of God to minister to others and needs to be equipped for this work with the home as a center for ministry. Fivefold ministers are the Lord's gifts to His church. He uses fivefold persons to help equip the each believer to become an effective minister in order to build up the body of Christ. Rev. 1:5-6. 1 Pet. 4:9, Eph. 4:11-12
8. A Servant's Heart is Necessary for Every Leader to Empower Others
We believe every sphere of leadership needs to include a clear servant-leader called by God and a team who is called to walk with him/her. The leader has the anointing and responsibility to discern the mind of the Lord that is expressed through the leadership team. 2 Cor. 10:13-16, Num. 27:16, 1 Pet. 5:1-4
9. We Deeply Value the Sacred Covenant of Marriage and the Importance of Training our Children to Know Christ
It is our belief that marriage and family are instituted by God, and healthy, stable families are essential for the church to be effective in fulfilling its mission. Parents are called by God to walk in the character of Christ and to train their children in the nurture and loving discipline of the Lord Christ. Mark 10:6-8, Eph. 5:22, Eph. 6:4
10. Biblical Prosperity, Generosity, and Integrity are Essential to Kingdom Expansion
Biblical prosperity is God's plan to help fulfill the Great Commission. The principle of the tithe is part of God's plan to honor and provide substance for those He has placed over us in spiritual authority. Those who are over us in the Lord are responsible for the proper distribution of the tithes and offerings. 3 John 2, Matt. 23:23, Heb. 7:4-7, Mal. 3:8-11, Acts 11:29-30
11. The Gospel Compels Us to Send Missionaries to the Unreached and Help those Least Able to Meet Their Own Needs
Jesus instructs us to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth to those who have never heard. Our mission is to reach the unreached areas of the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and through church planting. Together we can join the body of Christ to reach the unreached. Matt. 24:14, Acts 1:8, 2 Cor. 10:15-16
12. Building the Kingdom Together with the Rest of the Body of Christ
Our focus is on the kingdom of God, recognizing our cell group, our local church, and DCFI is just one small part of God's kingdom. We are called to link together with other groups in the body of Christ and pursue unity in His church as we reach the world together. Matt. 6:33, Eph. 4:1-6, John 17, Psalm 133
