Welcome House Churches!

Here you will find helpful and reliable information that will guide your research on your particular type of Christianity.

TIPS:

1) Try different search terms to see which gives the best results.

EXAMPLE: If your denomination is Methodist try “Methodist Church”, “Methodist”, “Methodists”, “Methodism” or “Methodis*”

2) Grab the citation at the start when you find something helpful!!!!  You can make a Word or Google doc to go alongside your research to note these. This will become your bibliography.

3) NoodleTools is a great resource for keeping your research together! Just go to NoodleTools.org and build your own account or open your existing one.
