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

​

In our doctrinal development, topology is used metaphorically and theologically—drawing inspiration from the mathematical concept of flexible continuity and connection.

Just as many artists or composers have been influenced by earlier works, we have prayerfully adapted this idea to express the living, organic nature of Christ’s Church: always connected, yet flexible—never severed.

This spiritual metaphor helps us explore how faith communities can remain united in love while expressing themselves in diverse forms and cultural contexts.

In mathematics, topology allows for different structures to be placed on the same underlying set. Each structure may define a unique way of relating its elements, yet the identity of the set remains unchanged.

We see in this a meaningful image of the Church: even when expressions of faith or organizational forms differ, those who believe in Christ remain part of the same spiritual body. The “set” remains fundamentally the same, though its outward shape or appearance may vary.

This is why we have intentionally incorporated the concept of topology into both our theological thinking and our ministry operations. While it may seem unusual at first, topology offers a compelling analogy for understanding Christian unity—one that embraces both visible differences and inner connection without requiring hierarchy or division.

A full explanation of this approach—what we call ©Topological Theology—will be shared in a dedicated page on our website in the near future.

We apply this concept to the present state of Christianity: though there are many denominations and styles of worship, we believe that all who trust in the Bible and in the saving grace of Jesus Christ belong to the same foundational set—the body of Christ.

The existence of denominations is not inherently problematic. What matters most is recognizing that even those outside of any denomination, if grounded in Scripture, are fully and equally Christian.

There is no “hierarchy of churches” in the eyes of Jesus, as recorded in Scripture. There is no biblical evidence that God's blessings are greater in a large cathedral than in the quiet, faithful prayers of a believer alone in their room.

What we affirm and teach as our core doctrine is this: Jesus blesses not based on external style or institutional size, but on sincerity of heart and faithful devotion.

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