Yes... and No. Since the beginning of the church, believers have met in many different types of locations. In Acts 2:46 we read they met together in the temple courts as well as in each other homes. We also read of people meeting by the river (Acts 16:13), in prison (Acts 16:25) and while under house arrest (Acts 28:23).  When Paul the missionary visited Ephesus he first went to the Jewish synagogue and met with people there but eventually wore out his welcome and so moved to a public lecture hall (Acts 19:8-10). It wasn't until the 4th century AD that purpose-built buildings for Christian worship began to be established. This coincided with the change in attitude towards Christianity brought about by the conversion of the Roman Emperor Constantine.

The history of how Christians have met together in different locations reflects the diversity and adaptability of our faith. From small home gatherings to grand cathedrals, Christians have found ways to worship and fellowship together in a variety of settings. Each setting comes with various advantages and disadvantages.

In the end it is not where we meet that is most important, but rather why we meet and to whose glory we seek to serve. So, we are a church that meets in homes and in offices and in public meeting spaces - and we meet together in all these different places to lift up Jesus Christ and to encourage each other to walk in His light.
