Hi, my name is Chad. I've been part of a house church here in Tempe since January of 2003. It has been a wonderful experience. I've started a podcast about my experience: http://churchplantingresource.podomatic.com/

Welcome, Chad! Listening to podcast is beyond my technology right now, so I hope you will share your experiences the old fashioned way, too!
Tell us about the fellowship there. It's notable that you have been part of something that has lasted so long!
Here are some questions to give you an idea of what kinds of things I'd like to know, but it isn't an inquisition, so share whatever you like:
How do you typically meet? How often? What locations? Does it greatly vary from week to week, or have you settled into a routine, more or less?
What expressions of body life have you found, in terms of reaching others, both believers with the HC vision and and not-yet-believers with the gospel?
How do you manage conflict, such as personality clashes, people who don't share the same vision, or misunderstandings?
Have you grown beyond the original group that started back in Jan 2003?
Does the fellowship largely share anything in common beyond house church, such as lifestyle, talents, hobbies or family situations? Is there something that ties the group together?
