The answer depends on what one means by “organic church.” If one means by the term having a pastor who teaches everyone in a living room, and where singing is led by a worship leader or worship team, the answer is no. That model is just a truncated version of the legacy traditional church.
But if you mean a close-knit fellowship where everyone participates in the ministry and Christ is the functional head, and decisions are made by consensus after the church is established, then the answer is yes.
You find this kind of church expression all throughout the New Testament narrative, not just in Acts 2.
In the New Testament, you do not find extensive religious buildings or a paid professional staff. You find simplicity where all function and participate. That doesn’t mean everyone is equal in gifting and maturity.
Elders grow up over time and extra local itinerants like Paul and Peter will give the church its footing. They will also have an ongoing relationship with the church. But they will eventually leave it after they plant it. Only visiting periodically to give aid and encouragement.
While there are many “home churches” in the world today, most operate like a smaller version of a pastor-led church. They are often support groups or Bible studies.
True organic churches are very different. They plan their gatherings together. Sometimes they are spontaneous, sometimes they design a theme, but the whole church participates in the planning, the ministry, the sharing, and direction of the group.
The goal is to manifest Jesus. It’s not to get their needs met.
Organic churches will also experience seasons, and eventually there will be problems. This was the case with every organic church in the New Testament.
If you are someone looking for close-knit community, you may want to begin reading the different books on organic church. We’ve listed some of the most popular ones here.
Just know that real ones are very hard to find in our time. But someday that may change.
