The were the first inroads of the apostles/missionaries who were founding the initial churches in the cities of the roman empire.

Acts 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

They went to places big enough for them when they got too big....like when they had 3000 added in a day.

You do understand that those were still the Jews right?

And where did you learn that? I would suppose you would also look down on the home churches my daughter just helped set up in Haiti? I suppose because they don’t have the pews, the preacher, the organ, the formal format for the service but simply meet as families in someone’s home to pray, study, and praise God that they are to be looked down on as not really Christians in your mind? I would suggest you re think what you’ve been taught as to what a Christian meeting really can be and I think should be.
