ABSTRACT

The house church is the church God intended to build. Important concepts of church in the New Testament are the body of Christ and the family of God. The house church functions as the body of Christ not just theoretically but also practically. In the house church and through the house church the saints. as parts of one body, are closely connected to each other and depend on each other. Because the house churches made the local church function as the body of Christ and the family of God, dynamic and effective lay counseling occurs between the house church members. Thus, it can be said that house church ministry greatly contributes to the vitalization of the lay biblical counseling ministry. If the house church leaders are trained with the principles and method of biblical counseling,its positive impacts will be amazing. These days especially, there has been increasing interest in small groups and house churches. Thus, if the lay biblical counseling ministry is vitalized through house church ministry, it would also play a positive role in the house church ministry. This means that the house church ministry would also be improved through the vitalized lay biblical counseling ministry. Ultimately, the house church ministry, biblical counseling, and the lay counseling ministry will produce a virtuous cycle, which would make the church healthy and God’s people mature. In addition, they will witness, bring strong evangelism to the world and change people.
