A microchurch is a small, intentionally formed Christian community—often about 5–25 people—that gathers regularly in a home, workplace, café, community space, or online rather than relying primarily on a traditional church building and large Sunday service.
A microchurch usually includes:
Worship and prayer
Bible study and spiritual formation
Close relationships and mutual care
Communion or shared meals
Local service and mission
Shared or lay leadership
The main distinction is not merely size. A small group is usually one ministry within a larger congregation, while a microchurch is intended to function as a genuine expression of church itself. It may operate independently or as part of a larger church network.
