The Church and Congregation in the Second Century
The church in the second century met primarily in people's homes. Even up to the fourth century Christians did not build many church buildings. Most believers did not have any scripture personally, or only had one epistle or gospel. When they met as a church they read scripture together. Another thing we start to see in second century congregations is the specialization of elders; elders taking on certain specific roles in the church, and we see the rise of the primacy of bishops.
