description Since its beginnings, the Early Christianity was predominantly an urban religion. In contrast, the Seventh-day Adventist Church emerged as a rural religious movement and has struggled to reach large urban centers with its message. The present paper investigates whether the use of one of the evangelistic strategies of early Christianity, the home-churches, can be useful to the current Seventh-day Adventist Church to carry out urban evangelism. With this objective, a documentary analysis is carried out to determine the characteristics and benefits of home-churches in apostolic Christianity. Then the implications of these advantages and their possible applicability in the current urban evangelistic context is developed.

En sus inicios, el cristianismo primitivo se caracterizó por ser una religión predominantemente urbana. En contraste, la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día surgió como un movimiento religioso rural y ha tenido dificultades para alcanzar los grandes centros urbanos con su mensaje. La presente investigación indaga sobre si la utilización de una de las estrategias evangelísticas del cristianismo primitivo, las casas-iglesias, puede ser de utilidad a la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día actual para realizar evangelismo urbano. Con este objetivo, se realiza un análisis documental para determinar las características y beneficios de las casas-iglesias en el cristianismo apostólico. Luego se describen las implicancias de estas ventajas y su posible aplicabilidad en el contexto evangelístico urbano actual.
