That would be well down the road obviously. I never want it to become just another traditional church. I think the community aspect of christianity is hindered by the traditional church. I think home church meetings create a far better atmosphere of community and family within the body.

This is another thing that calls to me to begin a house church in my area. I live in a town with no apostolic church. My wife bought a Kirby vacuum cleaner from a lady the other day who goes to a local denominal church and she said she longs for a church where she can raise her hands and amen the preacher. She wants to go to a church where she can feel free.
The church we go to is 30 minutes away. So I leave a perfectly ripe field every time I go to service and drive to a place where there is a church to be a part of that.
There are no apostolic church for 30 minutes any direction I travel from the town that I live in.
