Non-Demoninational e-Church
e-Church vs Traditional Churches with Sanctuaries~
The first reason is because the House Church is the only type of church mentioned in the New Testament. This doesn't make the House Church the only type of church blessed by God, but it does make it the only form that comes with what might be called a biblical instruction manual and it's certainly the only model the biblical writers produced any information for. Between the birth of the church in about 30 AD and the institutionalization of the church by Constantine in 312, the church primarily existed in homes and during that time managed to become one of the known world's fastest growing religions from Africa to Asia and Europe. The House Church efficiently evangelized their neighborhoods, towns, cities, and regions because of their simplicity and their efficient ability to reproduce more House Churches.
So, what's wrong with the Institutional Church? Why aren't we winning the world for Jesus? Perhaps because we've become inefficient when it comes to evangelism. Thom Rainer in Surprising Insights from the Un-churched reports that it takes the combined efforts of eighty-five Christians over the period of one-year to produce one convert to the faith. Worse yet, according to the World Christian Encyclopedia, the Institutional Church spends $1,551,466 for each new convert (I'll take that in cash, thank you!).

In a culture that's craving meaning and meaningful relationships, the House Church Movement is both structured and poised to meet those needs. In a nation where less than forty percent of the people are connected with the institutional church, where Christianity is one of the fastest shrinking religions, and where churches are closing faster than they're opening, the structure of the House Church offers hope to those who may never otherwise hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.
The Bed Rock Beliefs of the House Church is the non-negotiable of the faith—the fundamentals if you will. We call them the Kingdom Issues. We have a saying, "If it's not a Kingdom Issue, then it might be good for a discussion, but we're not going to argue about it." Our Bedrock Beliefs are summed up in the statement "Jesus and the Four Greats."
Jesus is the living Son of God and we accept Him as our Savior and Lord; He gave us the Four Greats:
The Great Invitation: "Follow me" (Mark 1:17; Matthew 16:24).
The First Great Commandment: "Love the Lord your God with all your mind, with all your heart, and with all your strength" (Mark 12:30).
The Second Great Commandment: "Love your neighbor as I have loved you" (John 13:34).
The Great Commission: "Go and make disciples of all the world" (Matthew 28:19-20).
