What is an organic church?

An organic church is a community of believers cemented and functioning every day by
The Life of Christ that dwells in them.

Frank Viola defines it as follows:

We all know what the term "organic" means. It means 100% natural without anything artificial and without any human ingredient added. This is a non-institutional form of the church as it has been born from the life and experience of Christ with its people, so that neither the programs nor the structures made by men are necessary or desired.
We are simple and ordinary Christians. Our backgrounds vary, but our love for the
Lord Jesus identifies our hearts and is the foundation of our communion.
We believe in the fundamental values and biblical doctrines of Christianity. Our unity is based on our oneness with Christ. Our commitment to others is also based on the oneness of your body where he is the head.
They're informal, like a family meeting. Everyone is free to participate.
Our emphasis is Jesus Christ. During any moment of the meeting, there may arise moments of prayer, canticles, testimonies, teachings, revelations and face-acara interaction.

A living church, a church, a walking body stoked by the spirit, is the organic church, as some have called it, is a church full of God.

We have discovered that there are no two equal meetings. Our meetings are characterized by great joy, fellowship and sometimes also accompanied by tears. The Holy Spirit guides us and we simply follow him.

By "Organic Church," I mean a non-traditional church that is born of spiritual life rather than being built by human institutions and led by religious programs.

The religious system quenches God's fire and dries the waters of the spirit.

The life of an organic church is a genuine experience distinguished by: face-to-face communion, the functioning of each member, open-ended meetings (contrary to pastor-to-congregation services), a non-hierarchical address, and the Centralism and Supremacy of Christ as the functional leader and head of the meeting. Explained in another way, the life of the organic Church is the experience of the body of Christ, in its purest form, is the communion of the Triune God brought to Earth and experienced by human beings.

Jesus is the one who keeps the church alive
