Where We Gather
IJNM meets wherever the community can gather — no building is too small or too humble for the Lord’s presence.
House Churches
Many groups meet in the homes of members — keeping worship personal, accessible, and community-centered.
Ministry Buildings
Locally built and funded ministry buildings give a house church a place to meet and to host training.
Rented Venues
When a permanent space isn’t yet available, groups rent community rooms, halls, or other spaces to gather faithfully.
