What is the Role of a Pastor's Wife in a Biblical House Church?

10/24/22 • 14 min

What is the wife of a pastor called to do in a house church? How should women in this position think about this role when their husband is pursuing planting a biblical house church? It is clear that a woman's role in house church is essential. The pastor's wife is meant to glorify the ministry and work that her husband has been called to, and could not do without her. She helps keep her husband qualified to be a pastor, pointing out things that her husband perhaps can not see. She is a light when things may seem dim, and steps out faithfully with him to serve in ways that her husband can not. In this episode of How We Do House Church, Dr. Jason Barker and pastor Dale Partridge discuss what the role of a pastor's wife is in a house church.

What Does Evangelism Look Like in a House Church?

How do you keep a biblical house church focused on the Great Commission, and prevent them from becoming only inward-focused? As Christians, we are called to evangelize to the lost, sharing with them the hope that is in us through the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God. We must have an appetite for sharing the Gospel and must be properly equipped after we come together as a body to worship and glorify God. Biblical house churches should do just that. Because of the intimate and tight-knit community, we can be strengthened by one another, grow in our knowledge of the truth, and be more prepared and able to evangelize in our everyday lives. In this episode of How We Do House Church, Dr. Jason Barker and pastor Dale Partridge discuss what evangelism looks like for a biblical house church, and how it involves the equipping of each member of the local body.

How Do You Handle Giving in a Biblical House Church?

Should we tithe in a biblical house church? Is tithing the same as giving? How does giving look different in a house church setting? When we give to a church, we should do so with a heart that desires to bless the church or ministry we have given to, with the hope that our funds will be used to the glory of God. We should also trust that the church or ministry we've given to is using what we've given to the glory of God. In a biblical house church, this area of worship is transparent, because we know the personal needs that each member has, and the church body desires to help and bless in ways that seem more and more impossible in a traditional house church. In this episode of How We Do House Church, Dr. Jason Barker and pastor Dale Partridge discuss how a biblical house church handles giving.
