What is Simple Church?
There are several definitions of Simple Church. To put it simply (pardon the pun) simple church is being the Church wherever we live in relationship with Christ, His Body and the world he has called us to reach. This is done without being dependent on facilities, professional clergy, elaborate services or structured meetings, but dependent on knowing what the Father is doing and obeying Him.
Typically when simple churches gather, they gather in homes, restaurants, places of business following the pattern for the church meeting described in 1 Corinthians 14:26.
". . .When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church."
The life of a simple church is not centered around a meeting, but it is a 24/7 experience and extends well beyond weekly gatherings into areas where we live, work and play. (from Hampton Roads Simple Church Network)
