While you may assume your home will be the place for your home church, this is not always the best idea. A home church should ideally be based in an area without any established churches nearby or where nearby churches are bigger and less intimate. Many people prefer smaller services, which is why they may seek out home churches. You should also pick an area that would be easy for potential members to reach, such as a home found in a central location in a city or town. Networking with other people with similar religious beliefs is important when starting a home church. This way, if your home is not appropriate for a home church, you can try finding someone else to volunteer. You want to make sure you're starting a home church for the right reasons. A home church should be a collaborative environment where likeminded people come together to worship. Home churches are usually started if there are few established churches in an area or if existing churches are not meeting the needs of many people. The following reasons are valid reasons to start a home church: If existing churches have turned many people away, it may be necessary to start a home church. If churches in your area are very large, many people prefer the intimacy provided by a home church. If there are many people in your existing church who dislike the way doctrine is taught, you may find a home church can help. No one can start a home church without guidance. Existing spiritual leaders in your community are there to help. Reach out to spiritual leaders in your area whose beliefs are roughly in line with yours. Let them know you're planning on starting a home church and ask for support and suggestions. Look for established believers in your area that are known for their religious services. For example, if you're starting a Christian home church, talk to someone who runs a Christian-based charity and ask them for guidance. If you do seek guidance within an existing church, make it clear you're not trying to challenge or upend that church. Explain that your motivations are simply to create a smaller, more intimate setting that is unlikely to replace an existing church. Home churches usually benefit from having a backbone of leaders. Just like elders or vestry in an established church, gather a group of three to four individuals to serve as leaders. Leaders can be family members, members of your existing church, or spiritual leaders in your community. Depending on the precise plan for your church, leaders can have different roles. For example, if you intend to have sermons, choose someone who is articulate and well-versed in your religion's doctrine to give sermons.

Q: One of the first steps in letting a man know you're attracted to him is showing a genuine interest in what he says or does. Whether you're hanging out together or as part of a group, you'll have the perfect opportunity to show him that you like him. If you happen to score one-on-one time with him, ask him questions to learn more about him. Try not to pepper him with questions like you're conducting an interview. Allow the questions to flow naturally while you're having a conversation. You could start off asking, "So, what do you like to do for fun?" Or if you're out at a bar or some other kind of venue, "Do you come out here often?" Ask him specific questions as opposed to saying, "Tell me about yourself." And focus on light topics or simple things. Ask him about his job, his taste in music, or his favorite foods or sports team. If you're in a group, show him more attention than everyone else. While you don't want to make things awkward by acting as if the rest of the group doesn't exist, show him he has your attention by hanging out in a spot near him and by positioning your body toward his. Remain active in the group's conversation, but make an effort to respond when he says something interesting and laugh at his jokes. If you've managed to have a decent conversation with him and asked good questions, then you should know enough about his interests to figure out where he may hang out. Does he play in a band or participate in a sport? Do you know who his favorite team is? What bar does he like going to on the weekend? If he mentions he attends local sports games, grab a friend and arrange to run into him at a game. Add him as a friend on Facebook or follow him on Twitter to keep up with his social calendar. Attend a couple events you think you may also enjoy, so you won't feel out of place. Get close to his friends to find out what they often do as a group. When you find out their plans for an evening, suggest you and a few of your friends attend. By making plans this way, it won't seem so obvious that you're intentionally trying to arrange quality time with the man you like. If you're across the room from him, allow him to catch you looking at him. When he does, smile at him for a couple seconds while looking into his eyes, and then look away. Likewise, whenever you catch him looking your way, show you appreciate his attention by smiling. Get him a gift that lets him know you've been thinking of him. You don't have to spend a lot of money, or any money at all, if you're crafty. Choose a gift that you feel reflects his interests or is a reminder of some memorable moment the two of you may have shared. You could buy the bobble-head figure of his favorite sports player. Get him tickets to a concert you'll both enjoy. If you like making crafts, you could decorate a picture frame and include a cute picture of the two of you, or create a collage of your favorite moments together.
A: Give him your undivided attention. Arrange to run into him at event. Smile and give him eye contact. Buy him a gift.
