If an assembly does this sort of thing on a weekly basis- great! And I'm not a house OR traditional church person, I'm a house AND traditional church person. But there is something to be said for meeting in small groups, mentoring people, and having that intimacy that you can't get in an assembly of 30, 70, 100 or 1000. I personally like groups of 10-15, this makes everyone an active participant. If you can do this sort of thing in a larger group, then great, but as someone who's part of a house church that sometimes even gets to be at 20 or so, if other people tag along, the intimacy is lost in that setting. My pastor has considered expanding his kitchen for a greater dinner table for house church, but everyone agrees that the answer is not to add more people, but to pray that other house churches get started so that the house church experience is not lost.
GOD BLESS!
