Have you ever considered starting a house church? Here are some resources that I have found particularly helpful along the way. We have a weekly zoom that we do for those who are serious about starting and need some help to get things going. Let me know if that interests you – matthewdabbs@hotmail.com
What is important is that these books are written by practitioners who have demonstrated success:
