101
 The Household Basics
*The household is the smallest unit within the community
made up of usually four (4) – seven (7) members.

*It is a venue for the members of each household to

experience the nature and greatness of Christ’s amazing love
through sharing joy, building trust, gaining support, and
learning how to express this love to others.
 GUIDELINES:
1. Brothers are separated from Sisters and vice
versa.
(Led by a Brother and Sister Household Head
respectively to have more openness, understanding,
and better handling.)
 GUIDELINES:
2. Households are conducted twice every
month, apart from the regular meeting of
the chapter, depending on the availability
of the members.
GUIDELINES:
3. Household are finalized right after
the membership or after finishing
the youth camp.
 Preparing a
Household
1. It is very important that our
topics for our households are
discerned, and prayed for. Use
the bible and let us pray as we
read it.

 Leading the Household

1. Be there before your members.

2. Open with a prayer or worship.

the topic.
4. Share what the focus of the sharing will be. Give a
preview of the talk.
 Leading the Household

5. Generally, all household topics seek to allow each

members of the group to know more about
themselves, the members, and about God. The
Household Topic Manual has (have) indicated guide
questions in each talk to facilitate the discussion of
each topic.
Sharing and Processing
Sharing
It is not often easy for members to share something
deep about themselves. As household heads, it is
important that we encourage our members to be open
about who they are and to trust the people whom they
are with. As household heads, we are to emphasize
complete confidentiality of everything discussed in
the households.
Processing
To process means to put into a basic understanding
particular concept or story in order for others to relate
with it and see the same point of view. As household
heads, we have a crucial role of pastoring our members
through the processing of (the) topics and sharings
discussed with the group. It is in the processing that our
members are able to fully understand and make
applicable the lessons imparted during the session.
 Household Monitoring

As household heads, we are able to witness closely the

growth of the members placed under our care. It is,
thus, crucial (for) to monitor this through filling up and
updating our monitoring sheets. These sheets serve as
a reference for us in guiding our household in their
journey towards a strong relationship with Christ.

• This is a monitoring sheet for a household head’s

personal use. This means that it is filled up and kept by
the household head.

submitted to the Chapter Youth Head, and noted by the
Chapter Couple Coordinator, every quarter.

help you serve your members better.
