"Beards are sin!" False doctrine?

[TJJJ]

I have known of many, yes many, pastors of congregational style churches that have went either into sin and or doctrinal heresy, so that is a broad brush to say that home churches are the criteria for that error.

We could spend all night naming names (we won't though) of men that have taken and created many, many problems for small, midsize, and large traditional style congregations. Just because Home Churches aren't your thing is the wrong reason to attack them.

I have pastored traditional style congregations for the last 25 years. They have their problems and their good points. But if I had to start anew and afresh somewhere else, I would go to a different format. More like multiple cell groups in homes for a while.

I have honestly thought about building more of a lodge style building, with fireplace and the whole thing with a large meeting are that would seat about 50. It would be more casual but would still be adequate for the smaller meeting style.

Just some thought.

Go start your compound and let your son in law take over the church.
If he moves to the compound I will take over the church.
