This document proposes an alternative model for church where members meet in homes rather than congregating at a central church building each Sunday. It notes that currently church services involve performances by pastors, choirs and others, while most congregation members passively observe. The alternative suggested would involve members actively participating and building each other up through small group meetings, Bible studies and fellowship in homes. This aims to encourage members to use their gifts and mature in faith through interaction, as was done in the early church described in Acts. Practical concerns about pastoral roles and church finances are addressed.
