House churches

Small churches across the country are closing.  The two options for new, successful churches seem to be 1) small ones that are established in non-traditional settings, like cafes, pubs, online churches, and in particular, home churches, and 2) very large “destination” churches that people are motivated to drive miles to attend.  We look at home churches, and how, in the near future, many smaller congregations may choose to meet in homes in order to avoid the costs associated with maintaining formal church buildings.  We examine the history of home churches, through the eyes of the New Testament.
