Get to know HCWNY
Home Church WNY is a group of friends, family, neighbors or colleagues meeting in a home. We celebrate Jesus with food, fellowship, worship, prayer and teaching. Gatherings are typically discussion based with discussion being led by one person at the gathering.
​
If the home church grows bigger than the largest meeting area can hold, it multiplies into two homes by two strong and stable families starting their own home church together. The original home church and the new home church keep in contact so they do not become distant.
​
Evangelism and an outpouring of ministry comes from each individual person. In their daily lives, work, village, neighborhood and community as they are a light for Jesus. They are an example to everyone around them. They evangelize through relationship. This way the new Christian is supported in relationship while they begin their new walk with Christ.
The God of the Universe is pursuing you through His Son, Jesus Christ. Following Jesus, through the power of His Holy Spirit changes us. Come see the transformational power of the Gospel.
Our Mission
Go and Make Disciples
​
Matthew 28:18-20
"18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
​
Acts 2:42-47
"42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe[d] came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
