Really? You would just be spreading the word as we should. It doesn't have to meet certain criteria or specifications. All you need to do is talk about the Father, BOOM, Church. We do not require the pews, offering plates (you should tithe to your local community, not to a church), choirs, central heat or air. These are all things that we have been told that we need. CBN, "Yes, the Lord says that we need this multi-billion dollar jet" is a load.
Take it a step further and "set the example" and people will come to ask you. You do not need to scream doom and gloom from the side walks, "The end is near!"
Start by making sure you know what is in the Good Book, because truly we must come to the Father ourselves we cannot do it for another.
The building is the place where the body meets. Why not have a building to meet at? It makes things simpler than expecting people will find a small group if they don't know anyone. Do you meet with a regular small group if you don't go to a "building"? I'd suggest you do. Iron sharpens Iron.
Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
Little things like that. The more I read this book and look at society today, we were warned about everything thousands of years in advance. Churches were gatekeepers, they couldn't offend society and comfort and "progress", because society and comfort and progress paid their bills and grew their power. Some of these churches literally will take donations and THEN pray that the congregation be "blessed" with a windfall of social success and money. Disgusting.
We aren't supposed to go to a physical 'church'. The Church is the congregation in Christ. The Father will never rest his spirit on a building again.
Lock yourself in your room to pray and talk about God to anyone that will listen, that is the real Church!
Make one?

Could not agree more with this.
