If you are already connected well with some of God’s people, then continue to build up those relationships. If, however, you are lacking good fellowship with others, then perhaps some guidelines for meeting together may be helpful in developing better fellowship.
These guidelines are intended to help people meet together without the need for strong leadership, and without the need to establish formal churches. If interested, then please see this .pdf file:
