The Best Church Structure

I am starting a discussion, a debate, about what would be the best church structure.  Is the church, divided into all the different denomination and non-denominations, meeting on Sunday mornings, and for the more dedicated Sunday and Wednesday evenings the best way?  Are the type of meetings we are having the most productive?

God has had me praying for the best church structure for the BV for several years.  I am feeling led to start a discussion about this. I have been going to church regularly for 39 years in many countries and have had many experiences.  I do not wish for this to be critical of any particular church or group.  I believe God will use what He can of the things we give Him.  God using us to some degree doesn't mean we are doing everything He would have us do.  I simple wish for us to know what is the best church structure for this society.

The New Testament does not tell us very much about how to have church.  Churches today are based mostly on tradition.  Having a discussion about it could be very beneficial for pastor and spiritual leaders.
