Call it the Lord’s supper, call it a love feast: We eat together every time we gather as a church.
The frequency, formality, regularity, order and mix of ministry elements vary from church to church. Some churches that’ll be listed here are fairly structured; others are very casual. The sole requirement is that everything be said & done with the ‘Why?’ below in mind.

Homes usually.
To encourage, equip, and provoke one another to love and good deeds in memory and imitation of Jesus, thus substantiating the good news that He, the definitive image of God, is Lord.
Everybody contributes to the building up of the body of Christ in love, just like the Scriptures say. This goes for both the ministry and the decisions we make. No one voice dominates—except, hopefully, the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Three words: Jesus is lord.
Our opinions about matters other than the lordship of Jesus are important. But they’re not crucial. Accordingly, members may differ widely from one another in their theology, lifestyles, or politics.
Whether we agree or disagree, we love.
