Where Did the Early Church Go?": "Re-thinking the Early House Church & the Authentic Gathering of God's Ecclesia"

By William R. Kimball

For the first three centuries, the only church model that early Christians knew was gathering together in someone's home to share God's word, pray, fellowship, & eat a common meal called the "Love Feats" together. This was the genesis of God's ecclesia, and the pattern of gathering together until Christianity was legalized in the 4th century and soon after the house church gathering was banned. It didn't need church growth strategies, big buildings, big budgets, religious window dressing, elaborate rituals, programs, gimmicks, or hype. It was simple, real, & highly effective. No, it wasn't perfect but it was so effective in serving as a crucible for nurturing, participation, relationship building, discipleship, and accountability that it overthrew the Roman Empire.
