"Still a third model dispenses with the central church organization entirely, and consists of individual home churches. There is no professional clergy preaching to an assembled congregation; rather, there are many independent groups of lay persons meeting together on a regular basis. They may meet in homes, apartments, parks, restaurants, halls, etc. They may or may not network informally with other home churches in their area. Their structure bears a strong resemblance to the structure of Amish groups and Neopagan covens."

When you see the church as the body of believers, and the members as the lively stones that make up the temple, and read where Jesus promised his followers to be with them whenever 2 or 3 meet together in his name, then home churches make a lot of sense. It does have the effect of robbing ego-centric self aggrandizers the opportunity to push their agenda and their will on the pew fillers.
