house to house.They had fellowship from house to house that is correct according to the scriptures and there were instances where they had church in a house which I am sure probably was due to the large amounts of Gentiles being saved became necessary unless they would have converted to Judaism which is not what the Apostle Paul taught.Anyway if you can share some of your early church
education and maybe literature with me today I would greatly apprieciate it.
I love to study and have read all of the bible and many translations and a number of history books on the subject.I think this is a great bible topic.
Here is the text portion I read today:

46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
I think they worshipped in houses and the temple and any place they could gather, they also visited synagogues appearently
