Cottage Meeting at Shalom Church

Join us for Holy Communion at Shalom Church, a sacred time of reflection and renewal as we partake in the Lord’s Supper and celebrate His grace.

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."

– Matthew 18:20

At Shalom Church, we believe in the power of prayer, fellowship, and community. One of the most cherished gatherings in our church is the Cottage Meeting, which takes place every third Sunday of the month from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM. This special time of worship and prayer is held at the homes of our church families, strengthening our bond as the body of Christ while bringing God’s presence into each household.

A Time of Blessing and Fellowship

The Cottage Meeting is more than just a prayer gathering—it is a moment to bless, encourage, and uplift one another in faith. As a church, we visit the homes of our members, standing with them in prayer and seeking God’s blessings over their families. This gathering is an opportunity to experience the warmth of Christian love and unity, reminding us that we are not just a congregation but a spiritual family.

Bringing the Church into Every Home

The Cottage Meeting is a beautiful tradition that ensures every home is covered in prayer and God’s blessings. It is a reminder that church is not just about gathering in a building but about being present in each other’s lives, praying for one another, supporting one another, and rejoicing in the Lord together.
As Matthew 18:20 reminds us, whenever we gather in His name, He is with us. The Cottage Meeting is a testimony of this truth—wherever we go to pray, God’s presence fills the home, bringing peace, joy, and divine favor.
We invite every member of Shalom Church to join us in this powerful time of prayer and fellowship. Let us continue to build one another up, visit homes with hearts full of love, and bless every family with the power of prayer and unity.
