V6 A Different Kind of Church Is Taking Shape in East Mesa
Our House Christian Fellowship is forming as a relational, Bible-anchored, Spirit-empowered Christian community in East Mesa, Arizona. We exist to help people know God, grow together, and live on mission—without hype, performance, or pressure. We are a church especially for the wondering, wandering, and wounded—those who love Jesus but may be disillusioned with church, carrying questions, or longing for authentic community that feels more like family than an institution.
"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." — John 10:10
Launching January 11, 2026
Starting January 11, we are launching Sunday morning, home-based Bible studies through the Book of Philippians from 10:00–12:00. These gatherings include Bible teaching, guided discussion, prayer, communion, and shared meals, rotating through homes. This rhythm carries through Q1 2026 and lays the foundation for a public worship launch in Q2 2026.
"He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion." — Philippians 1:6

Bible study through Philippians
A Church for the Wondering, Wandering, and Wounded
Our House exists for those who may feel unseen, burned out, or disillusioned by church—yet still sense God is not finished with them. You belong here if you love Jesus but feel disconnected from church, have questions, want real relationships, want to participate not spectate, and seek depth over performance.
Love Jesus but feel disconnected from church
You're not alone in your questions or doubts.
Want real relationships
Authentic community that feels like family.
Want to participate not spectate
Every member is called to ministry.
Seek depth over performance
Grace, not pressure. Growth, not hype.
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28–30
Our Discipleship Pathway
Discipleship here is relational and intentional. We believe transformation happens through authentic relationships, deep engagement with Scripture, and purposeful living.
Belong
Find family before answers. Community is the foundation of faith.
Believe
Grow faith through Scripture. God's Word shapes our understanding.
Become
Live purposefully in mission. Faith expressed through action.
"By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." — John 13:35
Kingdom Realists
We describe ourselves as Kingdom Realists—believing Christ reigns now, His Kingdom is advancing, and we are to live faithfully in the present tension without escapism or speculation. We embrace the already-and-not-yet reality of God's reign.
"Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." — Matthew 6:10
The Kingdom is here. The Kingdom is coming. We live in faithful expectation.
How Our House Came to Be
Our House Christian Fellowship emerged through prayer, loss, and shared longing for something healthier and faithful. Community formed around tables, Scripture, and shared conviction. We didn't start with a platform; we started with prayer.

Depth Before Scale
We pursue depth before scale, building strong foundations for sustainable growth.

Why Philippians
We're studying Philippians because it speaks to joy, humility, and Christ-centered living. Written from prison, it shapes both theology and community culture, teaching us to rejoice in all circumstances and pursue the mind of Christ.
"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." — Philippians 1:21
Where This Is Headed
Q1 2026: Home-Based Studies
Sunday morning gatherings through Philippians, rotating through East Mesa homes. Building foundation of relational discipleship.
Q2 2026: Public Worship Launch
As God grows the community to 30–40 adults, we transition to weekly public worship with teaching, worship, communion, and mission.
Beyond: Sustainable Growth
Maintaining relational discipleship DNA while expanding impact. Depth before scale, always.
"And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord." — Acts 14:23
Why We Give
We give because everything belongs to God; generosity is worship. Giving supports discipleship, mission, mercy, and community—not buildings or spectacle. Giving is voluntary and joyful, flowing from grateful hearts transformed by grace.
Worship
Generosity as an act of worship and gratitude
Discipleship
Supporting relational growth and spiritual formation
Mission
Advancing God's Kingdom locally and globally
Mercy
Caring for those in need with compassion
"Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." — 2 Corinthians 9:7

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. — Matthew 6:21
