Why Secret Church?
When we think of "church" in America, we think of going to meet at a building, singing, praying and hearing a message from a Pastor or teacher. But in many places around the world, "church" meets in a home, an apartment, even in secret. These small groups of Christ-followers often meet for many hours in study, prayer and fellowship, as it is dangerous to travel to "church" and they want to make the most of their time together.

Secret Church is our "house church," where we meet periodically for an intense time of Bible study--lasting 4-6 hours--and prayer for our persecuted brothers and sisters across the globe. This is not for the uncommitted or faint at heart. But if you desire to know God more deeply through His Word, and know His Church more fully around the world, then please join us for Secret Church.

New! Tickets Required For Secret Church May 2 & 3

$3.00 Per Person--Purchase Online or at The Church at Brook Hills
Please note this important new information: Because of the tremendous popularity of Secret Church, we must make an effort to offset some of the expense involved. While the concept is still a simple and straightforward night of intense Bible study--it simply costs quite a bit to facilitate the study for more than 2,000 people! This time around you'll need to purchase a ticket to attend for $3.00 a person. This is to cover the cost of producing the study guide materials.

Tickets can be purchased online or through Connection Central in the lobby. Remember to bring your online confirmation ticket and present it as your ticket for entrance. If you purchase your ticket online and forget to bring it, stop by the Will Call Desk at least 30 minutes prior to the study. Due to limited seating we encourage you to register as soon as possible.

Water and snacks will be available on the evening of Secret Church for a nominal charge.

What About Childcare?
Secret Church is a 6-hour intensive Bible study meeting from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. Because of the length of the meeting, and the late hour, childcare at the church is not available.

Promotional and Travel Information Now Available

Adults Only, Please
We do not recommend Secret Church for those under age 13 because of the length of the study. Also, because some images of the persecuted church around the world used during the prayer time may be a bit graphic, parents should use caution when bringing minors to Secret Church.

Casual, All Are Welcome
Dress for Secret Church is casual--come as you are. We welcome Christ-followers and others from around the area who may wish to study with us at Secret Church on these selected Friday evenings.

Offering for the Persecuted Church
Each Secret Church meeting, we'll focus on the persecuted church in a different region of the world. Following a video update, you'll have the opportunity to be a part of a special offering which will help persecuted congregations in that region of the world through Brook Hills' Global Disciple-Making ministries. Participation in the offering is optional.
