How to Meet under Headship

What would church life look like if Jesus Christ truly presided over every gathering? In How to Meet, Gene Edwards offers a bold and practical invitation to rediscover the simplicity and spiritual depth of first-century church life. This book challenges conventional patterns of church meetings and calls believers back to gatherings shaped not by tradition, programs, or hierarchy-but by the living headship of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Scripture, experience, and decades of ministry, Edwards explores what it means for Christians to meet in homes with full participation, spiritual freedom, and shared responsibility. This is not merely a change of location from buildings to living rooms-it is a radical rethinking of how the church gathers and functions. Inside this book, you will discover: ¿ Why the New Testament church met in homes ¿ What it means to meet under Christ's direct leadership ¿ Practical insights for participatory gatherings ¿ A biblical alternative to clergy-centered meetings ¿ The role of itinerant workers and lay-led assemblies Written with clarity, conviction, and pastoral insight, How to Meet speaks to believers who long for authentic Christian fellowship and deeper spiritual life. Ideal for: ¿ House church leaders and planters ¿ Christians exploring organic church life ¿ Readers interested in biblical ecclesiology This book is both a challenge and an invitation-to rediscover the living Christ at the center of His church.
