It would be logical IMO as Christianity grew to build buildings to congregate just like they had synagogues after centuries of Judaism and they were settled in one place. God can bless any model if as Bookie said if Christ-centered, etc.
I know some people like John Fenn said Jesus told them to go to the house church model for certain reasons, but again, that was a specific instruction for him, not the whole church. And might the 'church' be better off as a whole with the house church model due to relationships, size, etc? Could be. But again, there is no mandate for house churches only from the Word.
