The question of what a simple gathering like a house church looks like in terms of a typical structure is difficult to answer. There is no one-size-fits-all structure. More important than any specific structure are the principles that any structure is based on. So we want to highlight healthy biblical principles for how we should gather as the church.

One of the three uses of the word church refers to churches that met in a specific person's or couple's house. And we looked at instances of Christians gathering in homes that may or may not have been dedicated house church gatherings as further evidence of the biblical nature of house churches
