About Local Faith
Simple mission. Small gathering. Scalable model.
Why Local Faith Exists
The early church didn't have buildings. They didn't have programs. They didn't have salaried staff. They had each other, the Word, the Spirit, and a shared table.
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. And the Lord added to their number daily.
Local Faith exists to support and connect home churches that want to follow this pattern. Not because buildings are bad. Not because programs can't help. But because simplicity is scalable. The model Jesus gave us still works.
We believe the church is a family, not a business. The table replaces the temple. The supper replaces the sacrifice. Circles, not rows. Presence before purpose.
Our Mission
To support, connect, and resource a network of home churches committed to the Acts 2:42-47 model of Christian community and disciplemaking.

Common Questions
Is Local Faith a denomination?
No. We are a network of independent home churches. Each group is self-governing. There is no hierarchy, no licensing, and no fees.
Do I need to join a group?
There is no membership to join. If you want to connect with a local group, we can put you in touch with a host. The host decides who they invite into their home.
Can my existing group join the network?
Yes. If your group is aligned with our guidelines, reach out through the connect page. We'll have a conversation and go from there.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Not yet. Our 501(c)(3) application is in progress. We will update this page when that status is granted. See the giving page for details.
