WOODDALE

MICROCHURCHES

Multiplying the Church &

Spreading the Gospel

Throughout Our Communities

WOODDALE’S VISIONTo impart the hope of the Gospel to 700,000 people

here, near and far, and to provide a clear pathway to spiritual maturity.

BUT WHAT ABOUT…

…people who may never (or could never) come to

one of our Wooddale campuses?

• Neighbors who have given up on God

• Coworkers who are too busy for church

• Friends who think church is too complex or institutional

• Vulnerable populations in closed communities

• More crises that force restrictions on large gatherings

HOW WILL WE REACH THEM?God is calling Wooddale to equip and empower everyday followers of

Jesus to start microchurches where we live, work and play. Our vision is that

these microchurches will meet regularly as an extension of our church in

corners of our communities—from living rooms and cul-de-sacs to cabins

and conference rooms. Through these microchurches, people will encounter

God and experience community as they engage those disconnected from

God. Disciples will be made, leaders will be developed, and more

churches will emerge to spread the hope of the Gospel hear, near and far.

In the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming that Jesus is the Messiah. -Acts 5:42

WHAT IF . . . God is calling you to start

a microchurch in your

neighborhood, workplace, or

another spot in the community?

Smaller gatherings of people who meet regularly

to worship with Wooddale’s online service. (~5-50)

Microchurches use resources from Church @ Home

to foster community and discipleship.

Every microchurch identifies meaningful ways to

impact its local community together.

Microchurches intentionally invite others to join

them and to experience the hope of the Gospel.

WHAT IS A MICROCHURCH LEADER?

A Wooddale Microchurch Leader:

• Embraces his/her gifts and calling as one who is sent to their local

community or to people in their sphere of influence.

• Develops a plan for leading a recurring microchurch gathering in a

particular location that will reach others.

• Leverages Wooddale’s online resources for worship, teaching, community

and outreach for their microchurch.

• Receives support, oversight and training in discipleship and microchurch

leadership through Wooddale’s Training Center.
