home churches

If you can not find a church maybe is good time to create a cell church. a group at home to discuss the bible, and to learn how to respond to a non Christian World. you just need a bible, a group of friends and a place... God Bless. GB

As an absolute last resort, I'd agree, but only then. It's far from simple to create one's own church and, even then, this approach is not likely to provide the spiritual growth or direction that those who are looking for the right kind of congregation are after.

Generally speaking, there is a conventional church for all seekers. The 'trick' for most of them is in identifying the right one out of all the different choices that are out there.

I think home churches is the church of the future, big building with thousands of people are not going to cut it... I am sure of that.

I agree and disagree. I agree that megachurches are not going to cut it. Imo they are just mixing capitalism and Christianity, two things not meant to be mixed. I think it is a passing fad but until it vanishes you couldn't pay me to attend such services. Ok, you COULD pay me, but only because I need the money right now.

I disagree, however, that home churches will be the norm, at least in the immediate future. I think there will be a return the classical church systems or improved versions of them. Further splintering groups of Christians seems detrimental to me, but that is just my opinion.

I think you are right about that. While megachurches as they are today will probably not be the way of the future, relatively large, non-denominational congregations probably will be more and more in evidence. It's not that I look forward to this or favor it, but there are many signs that indicate that this is, more or less, what's ahead. The idea that home churches will be the norm is just wishful thinking on the part of a devotee of home churches. They are too lacking in what most people want and need to ever be the norm.

the early church met in homes, and they met day by day. Home church is not the church of the future, but a return to our roots.

I just planted a home church a few weeks ago. Honestly, the growth I am seeing in the people is impressive already compared to the last few years in what has become traditional churches.

It may not be what people want, but it is what they need. A refocus on the Word, one being family and being the Church and a shedding of the trappings of "doing church".

That said, more and more people are leaving "churches" and the home church movement is growing.
