Mimos Network - The Basin


Mimos small churches meet regularly. Our gatherings are based on a New Testament model of house church as described in Acts 2:42-47.

"All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. 43 A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 44 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. 46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity – 47 all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved."

What does a Mimos Small Church gathering look like?

The Mimos Small Church Gathering involves everyone reading and learning from the Bible, sharing, praising, praying, and eating a meal together.

Acts 2:42 – All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.

1 Corinthians 14:26 – Well, my brothers and sisters, let’s summarize. When you meet together, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some special revelation God has given, one will speak in tongues, and another will interpret what is said. But everything that is done must strengthen all of you.

Teaching

Simple interactive Bible study where everyone is involved in the learning process. Everyone teaches and everyone learns. The goal is not to have a few gifted teachers but to have a lot of hungry learners. We use simple methods of study – What does it say?, What does it mean?, What difference does it make in my life? We seek to listen to and be guided by the Holy Spirit. We also draw on the knowledge, experiences and wisdom of the whole group.

Sharing and Ministry

Each person is a teacher and each person is a learner. We disciple each other and help each other to more closely align ourselves with God’s purposes. God can speak through everyone through words, songs, revelation, prayers, or images to teach and encourage.

Fellowship – Sharing life and strengthening relationships. Sharing life with each other, being genuinely connected in relationship helps us to pray for each other and support each other.

Prayer – We mostly use short simple prayers. These may be planned times of prayer or spontaneous prayer as the Holy Spirit guides us.

Food – Food is an essential ingredient to our church gatherings. It was part of the New Testament church gathering and the meal facilitates discussion and creates an atmosphere where genuine, authentic relationships can develop and grow.

Lord’s Supper – we have a focused reflection on Christ’s death and resurrection as part of the shared meal.
