INTRODUCTION TO ALT. CHURCH - OCTOBER 8TH
Vineyard at Home is excited to announce a one day conference on House Church / Alternative Church to be held on Saturday, October 8th, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The location for this event will be on the campus of the Anaheim Vineyard Church in Anaheim, California.
“Introduction to Alt-Church” will be an opportunity for you to learn about – and share about – simple churches, house churches, hybrid churches and other non-traditional church structures that focus on bringing the ministry of Jesus deeper into the lives of believers and deeper into the fabric of the neighborhood, nation, and world.
* Being Church: Discovering Your Mission in Your Community
* Leadership in the Alt-church milieu
* Biblical principles of Alt-church ministry
and much, much more.
The cost for this event is only $10 per person (cash or check) and will include a light lunch. Mainly, we just want to gather people who are interested in starting Alt-churches, joining them, learning about them and sharing about their experiences with them. Let’s see what God will do!
Please watch this space – and Facebook – for more details and make plans to join us.
The address of the Anaheim Vineyard is:
5340 East La Palma Avenue
Anaheim, CA 92807-2021

About Bob Sears
Bob lives in Fullerton and is very happily married to Caroline. He has two grown children: Ryan and Shannon.
Bob received my Master of Divinity degree from Talbot Seminary at Biola Univ. in 1982(No fair holding that against him.)
Bob then served for 20 years as an associate pastor in two Evangelical Free churches.
Unable to resist the Spirit's prodding, Bob left his pastoral position at the begin-ning of 2003 to start simple churches. He especially loves "fishing" in the 12-step recovery community because so many recognize their need for God but are turned-off to "organized religion."
Bob's desire is to serve the body of Christ by helping simple churches become all that God intends.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ORGANIC CHURCH?
After last month's OC/OC Forum with Paul and Lori Byerly from House2House.com, we identified several things that were "wrong" with Organic Church.
Inspired by this discussion, our own Keith Giles recently wrote a series of articles to address several of these issues.
What's Wrong with Organic Church?
Invisible to the Community
Too Inwardly Focused
Too Isolated From Traditional Churches
Lack of Church Discipline
Lack of Connection with Other House Church Groups
No Spiritual Covering
