In many ways similarly to how it is practiced in the house church movement in China today. People met in their homes for prayer, they thanked God for His blessings and they were taught the word of God by their leaders. No dedicated church buildings existed in those times. Churches were known as 'the church at John's house' - according to whoever was able to act as host. There were also works of charity done and organized for those in need, particularly as no social security system existed then. It was all much simpler and much less ritualistic.

Biblical Christianity 2000 years ago was characterized by faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior, adherence to teachings found in the New Testament, gathering for worship and fellowship, and a strong emphasis on spreading the good news of salvation. Practices included baptism, prayer, preaching the gospel, sharing resources within the community, and living out the values of love, forgiveness, and compassion. Early Christians faced persecution but remained committed to their beliefs.
