Always thought that without a "rabbi" or "leader" sustaining, growing and evolving such an enterprise would present daunting challenges. Have been wondering how a "cell group" can transition towards a house church. Are you affiliated/adhering to any variant of religious practice or are you non affiliated intent on seeking the "Truth" and being real. Doctrines generally provide "rails" but have a downside risk of being completely false or a successful cult. Can you create a perpetual "moral/truth" conscience within a small group. When do you split and multiply? Grateful if you could share your experiences and ideas within this blogsphere. Dear Craig,

No fertilizers, no pesticides, chemical free, no encrustations,no institutionalism, natural, wholesome, healthy. I like it too. It's kind of romantic. Going back to what the NT church was like: God's people meeting in houses. There is something “organic” about the house church.

Each Sunday we gather with about 20 others to pray, worship through singing, and spending time reading the Scriptures and being taught by the Scriptures. Our group includes families, singles, college students and kids. We are not a disgruntled group of people, but a group of people who realized that much of our time and energy and funds were going into maintaining a building thereby sapping our potential for reaching others. Yes, we do have visitors to our home church, three yesterday. Will we always meet in a home? I don't know. But for now it works for us. My family and I are part of a “house church”.
