More about Neo house

“They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.”
Acts 2:46-47 NLT

WHAT?

NEO House [definition]: a group of people who live in the same local area and participate in the online worship experience together, share a meal, build community and encourage each other to grow in their faith.

WHEN?

It’s up to you! We have several opportunities for your NEO House to join the premier on Sunday, or you can catch the re-play at any time throughout the week. You decided what day and time works best for you to gather, and then invite friends to join!

WHERE?

Your house! We encourage you to have a large enough television and gathering space to accommodate the number of friends you are inviting, as well as high-speed internet. The size of your gathering is up to you, however we do encourage all NEO House gatherings to remain under 20 people, including children.

WHY?

NEO’s home base is in Cleveland, Tennessee, however our online community expands beyond the city limits. We are living in uncertain times when gathering in large groups is becoming harder and harder, and the use of masks and social distancing is becoming our new normal. The church has been forced out of their buildings, but it has not been shut down! In the book of Acts, we read that the early church gathered together in homes and people were added to the church daily. We like to imagine that they ate together, worshipped, laughed and grew deeper in their faith through discussion and prayer. Instead of trying to bring people to a church building, why not bring the church into our homes and our neighborhoods? We all have friends and family that would never step foot in a church building, but they will come to your home. Together we can be the church!

HOW?

We’ve made it simple! Resources, discussion questions, a NEO kids host (for approved homes) and NEO Kids materials will be provided for you on a weekly basis. All you need to do is have a heart for people, open your home, serve a snack and tell a friend!

Resources For NEO House Hosts

Tips for hosting an excellent
NEO House:

1. Welcome every guest, especially first time guests
2. Make sure your house is clean, especially the bathrooms
3. Snacks and drinks always make people feel welcome. Invite attendees to bring something to share.
4. Ensure everyone can see, a large TV is better
5. Ensure the sound is loud enough and clear (a sound bar helps a lot)
