Re: Apostolic house churches?

All members were, at one time, active and devout members of local institutional congregations (primary UPCI), who, for individual reasons, grew dissatisfied with the manner in which activities at such locales were being conducted and elected to separate themselves.

We are a group who truly believe that only Jesus Christ serves as the Head of the church (regardless of its numerical size), and seek to operate accordingly.

We refrain from the establishment or adherence to pre-conceived agendas, and seek to be sensitive to the Spirit's leading in everything we do (albeit there are occasions when a member might tender a request that we address a specific portion of Scripture or doctrine at our next meeting).

Our primary goal is personal edification, growing in grace and knowledge as we commune together as fellow saints. In the more than 26+ years since receiving the Holy Ghost and subsequent conversion to Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal doctrines, I have never been more confident that the manner in which our "House Church" operates is approved of God. I could never again be a part of organized Christianity.
Amen! I completely concur with this and especially with the bolded above!
