Why We Promote House Churches and
How Topology Became a Theological Backbone
 

In our efforts to promote the house church model, there are three guiding principles that form the foundation of our approach:
 

1. Continuing Worship in Familiar Ways:
For those who already have a church they trust and have faithfully attended, we recommend continuing their current style of worship even within a house church setting. There is no need to change what already nurtures their faith.
 

2. Finding a Church Tradition That Resonates Personally:
We also recognize that many people have had experiences in traditional churches that left them feeling disconnected or unfulfilled. For these individuals, we suggest researching other church traditions, reaching out to churches that resonate with them, and, if granted approval, forming a house church in alignment with that particular tradition.
 

3. Embracing the Wider Body of Christ Without Denominational Barriers:
Finally—and most importantly—we affirm that even if someone does not belong to any particular denomination, as long as they believe in the Bible and the salvation offered by Jesus Christ, they are indeed Christians in the broadest and truest sense of the word.

This inclusive view of Christianity forms the core doctrine of our faith. We believe this reflects the original intent of the gospel more faithfully than rigid denominationalism.
(We must clearly state that this excludes cults, which misuse the name of Christianity.)

                                                                                              

 

Why Topology Matters in Our Theology
 

This is also why we have chosen to incorporate the concept of Topology—a branch of mathematics—into our theological and operational foundations. At first glance, this may seem like an unusual or even unrelated choice. However, topology offers a compelling analogy for how we understand Christian unity.

In topology, it is possible to assign different topological structures to the same underlying set. Though each structure may define a different way of relating the elements, the identity of the set remains unchanged. We find this to be a meaningful metaphor for the Church: even when expressions of faith or organizational forms differ, the people of God remain part of the same spiritual body. In other words, the set remains fundamentally the same, despite having different "shapes" or "appearances" in space.

We apply this concept to the present state of Christianity: although there are many denominations and differences in worship practices, we believe that all who believe in the Bible and the salvation of Jesus belong to the same foundational set—the body of Christ.

・The existence of denominations is not inherently problematic.
・What is essential is recognizing that even those who do not belong to a denomination but still believe in Scripture are fully and equally Christians.
・There is no "hierarchy of churches" from Jesus’ perspective, as recorded in the Bible.
・There is also no scriptural evidence that God’s blessings are greater for those in large churches compared to those who pray alone in their room.
・What we believe and teach as our core doctrine is that Jesus blesses according to one’s sincerity and devotion, not the size or style of the worship setting.
 

This conviction guides our theology and serves as the philosophical backbone of our house church mission.
