We are not affiliated with the denominations: Churches of Christ, or the International Churches of Christ. Instead we are an independent and unique church in that our organization is based on the home/house type of church. House type churches are based on the New Testament model of small congregations meeting in someone’s home rather than an official church building.

Usually a house church will have up to around 20 members, and if it grows larger than that they merely start another house church. This almost eliminates overhead expenses of a paid staff and building expenses which consume the large majority of most church incomes. Studies show that only about 2.1% of church income goes into benevelence ministries, of which winning the lost is only a part. This is unacceptable, and the house church because it is almost void of these costly overhead expenses, can direct its offerings into the spreading of the Gospel which is what the church is supposed to be doing.

That's exactly what we are doing with our ministry in the U.S., and in foreign nations with our outreach: Brazil and Beyond Ministries. (See the menu link to the left).

In the picture above, we took church right into a hospital and preached the Good News of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and then prayed for this little girl who had an operation for water on the brain.

There was a time when sinners would come to the church to be saved, but things have changed and sinners are staying away from churches in droves. Therefore, here at Christ International Church of Evangelism we have taken the concept of the house church a step further in that we take the church to where ever there are people who are hurting or want to grow in the things of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We hold services in different people’s houses as the opportunity arises, in conventional churches when invited, or we go to jails, shelters, and overseas where our focus is on Brazil. If there is someone who wants to hear the Gospel preached and the Word of God taught, we make every effort to go there.

If you'd like for us to come to your church, revival, Bible study group, etc. please let us know. See the rest of these web pages to learn more about us, and also visit our outreach page concerning our ministry in Brazil by clicking on the Link Section menu option to the left.
