Re: The House Church:
Another thing as talking about restructuring the church.
I came across a guy in Texas who Pastors a traditional church model. He saw a piece of land and the Lord gave him an idea - build a convention center.
He built a convention center that operates like a normal convention center. It has a starbucks in it, meeting rooms, and banquet rooms. But in the design of it he put his church in a section of it. The churches facilities are permanent (no one can rent these for meetings and so forth).
He has a catering service and employs people from the church when conventions come in and so forth.
He said that he would never build a traditional church model again because the business is paying for the church. He operates it as a for profit corporation and the city loves him also.
It was an interesting concept.
