Home-sized and home-based churches (thus, smaller rather than larger fellowships) that are linked together into networks of other autonomous house churches (Ro 16:5, 1Co 1:27-29, Col 4:15, Phlm 2). City-wide church activities might include larger rented facilities where evangelism, leadership training, the equipping of the saints, multi-church Bible studies, public worship, etc. occur. However, the regular Lord’s Day meeting of the local church is to be in homes. Primary and weekly are the local house church meetings; secondary (and optional) are larger (multi-church) gatherings.
