" Becoming the Household will offer a missing missional piece for many churches. Biblical Christianity starts with a relationship with God and grows into many other relationships - or at least it should. Chris Kish will guide your church in fostering the relationships that your young adults crave, the relationships that will provide a relational foundation for growth in Christ. This is the why and how you need." - Dr. James Lytle, President, Clarks Summit University "As an increasing number of people are less interested in the programs and activities of the church, we need to equip followers of Jesus to cultivate spaces to do life with people. In Becoming the Household , author Chris Kish provides a simple, yet incredibly helpful roadmap to do just that. Using a gospel community strategy that focuses on Kingdom multiplication, Kish shares a practical way to tap into the deep need people have for relational connections with gospel intentionality. I really love this book and will be recommending it often to anyone passionate about reaching people in their sphere of influence." Brad Brisco, author of Next Door as It Is in Heaven and Covocational Church Planting Who says young adults have abandoned the Christian faith? A couple of years ago, a group of seven young adults from Family Church met to dream and pray together about a way for their peers to find community and discover the gospel. They started by meeting and praying in homes and sharing meals together. They began to invite other young adults to join them, and their group quickly grew, which led to the launch of another group, and another, and another. All along, God awakened the hearts of young adults to the gospel as many surrendered to Christ, received baptism, joined the church, began to serve, and stepped into leadership. In Becoming the Household , Christopher Kish, the visionary and leader of the young adult ministry, writes the compelling story of how the hunger for belonging is driving young adults to pack into homes and apartments to talk about life through the lens of the gospel. The title, Becoming the Household , refers to the value of creating a family among people yearning for connection, whose own experiences of family may have left them cold. Kish explains how they did it step by step, from setting the vision, getting leaders bought in, and navigating key leadership decisions. He shows how inviting young adults into leadership helped fuel their expansion and reproduction. Best of all, Kish shares real stories of conversion, baptism, growth, and life change. Becoming the Household is a guide to reaching people beyond the walls of the church, a leadership template for starting and growing a movement, a relational strategy for evangelism and discipleship, and a compelling story of hope. Young adults are looking for meaning and hungry for connection: the gospel is the answer. If you want to learn how to reach a searching generation through gospel communities, this is the book for you.
