Mostly because I'm not comfortable having house Church in my aunt's home and my home is too small (24x36 double-wide). When my pastor died, his son (along with his wife and two kids) moved in with my aunt. It doesn't feel as free as it was, and there isn't as much room and there are too many distractions. It was never really respected as Church and now that pastor Larry is gone it's even worse. If I had a large enough room in my home I would be fine with that. I'm not against that at all.
We have Church exactly the same way we did before but now we can get loud and not worry about it (we're out in the country) and we have more room to move around during worship. No one walks in front of me as I preach to get their kids breakfast. Also, we've been able to get people to visit that never came before.
It's also easier to get others to participate. We now have room for drums (my son just started playing electric drums) and keyboard (my wife is learning).
We had a Church from AL join us last night. I asked their pastor to preach (his Church is a daughter work of ours, but he has a large building). He brought 7 members with him. We had 16 total. I enjoy having Church in the tent and I hope to keep it going for as long as possible.
