Our hope in this blog is to share the story of the early development of ViaCordis, our missional house church network based in the greater Los Angeles area. We know there are others with similar visions all over the US and beyond and we welcome the chance to dialogue with you and learn from one another.

Light in dark places


One of our members is back in prison until June for a parole violation. He seeks to be the hands and feet of Jesus there. One way he does this is by forming a church group there using the same principles we use in our house church. Here is how he describes what he does:

"I just finished with our little Church group of two. I get together every night with a friend, a young man of 20, and we read one chapter out of the Bible. We discuss what we read, what Jesus is saying to us, how we can apply it to our lives, and what stands out to us most and why. The time that he and I spend together is a real blessing to me. And to see his spirit grow as he follows Christ—man, it’s something to be amazed by."
