A Home Discipleship Church

The Pew Forum released a study last week, pointing out that the Christian faith is dying in America. Since 1970, the younger generation is dropping out of the Christian church, and America follows directly in the path of Europe. Children are not following in the faith of their parents. But a new kind of church is forming in America that promises to address the 80% problem (where 80% of children from Christian families walk away from the faith.) These churches are reviving generational continuity, fatherhood, home discipleship, and shepherding. In short, they are bringing relationships back in a cold, institutionalized, programmic world.

In this edition of Generations, Pastors Henry Reyenga and Dave Feddes talk about the development of home discipleship churches in the state of Illiniois, and how this is radically changing the heart of the church in one state.
