Home Church: Fellowship in the Living Room

by Trent Gilliss, senior editor

Cambridge, Minnesota, has two formal home church groups. This one, known as the Blue Fish Group, meets in the living room of member Bob Roby on Saturday, December 4, 2010. A typical home church "service" consists of music, prayer, theological discussions and a shared meal. (MPR Photo/Nikki Tundel)

Nikki Tundel’s photo essay of two home church groups in Cambridge, Minnesota provides an intimate look at worship in small spaces in a satellite community. I’m particularly smitten with the image of a man using a Foosball table as an “altar” for checking Scripture.
