Different Sized Bodies 123

Mega Church Some of today's largest churches, the so-called "Mega-Households," or "Mega-Churches" are in South Korea. They are so successful because they have returned to household principles. Hundreds of thousands of members rely entirely on small groups and different sized bodies meeting in homes. These churches are so large that they rarely gather together in one place but this is not essential if the Body of Christ still assembles in household units of different sized bodies.

Ancient Scroll Over the course of the last two thousand years, the church has lost touch with its household roots and evolved as synagogue type building-based congregations. This approach may have served in other times but not in our current society. The so-called house church movement in Great Britain was one attempt to remedy some of the inbuilt deficiencies in the institutional church. As offshoots of a local congregation they started off well and meetings in homes grew quickly. Many however became introspective or outgrew their premises and so moved back to a church-type building. What goes around comes around! House churches also cannot be divided easily.

What affect would it have on your church, if you had no church building?
