The Crowded House is a group of church planting networks in Sheffield and Loughborough. Welcome to our website. You'll find sermon series in the Bible Room. There are new songs written by TCH members in the Music Room, and ways to get involved in the Action Room.
Visit the Gospel Centred Community Room to find out how a commitment to the gospel in the context of church community shapes our approach to a number of topics and join the discussion in the Blog Room.
If you are interested in getting a glimpse of what life in TCH is like then visit the Story Room where we will post articles, snippets from TCH blogs and short videos to give you a flavour of life in a TCH congregation.

We’re flying out of Sydney, heading for Melbourne and the Forge ‘grassroots’ festival and as we do so we’re crossing from one church culture to another and as such it’s a good moment on the plane to reflect on our time in Perth and Sydney.
We have spent time with church planting teams, supporters of church planting, staff teams wanting to either transition their church from what has become known as an attractional model (time and place) of church to a missional (life and love) model, and staff teams supporting a new missional plant from their attractional mother church. We have met people working from the bottom up, wanting to start something from scratch, to people asking top down questions (how to transition). Everyone seems receptive to the theological principles behind a life and love model of church.
