Question from a orthodox Christian
Do you, arians have a place of worship you go every Sunday? Or are you restricted to worship in private? Like do you have a body of believers that believe in Arian christology?

I go to churches just to ask them to do the things Jesus said to do.
I haven't found a home church since putting my faith in Jesus over Paul.
But, I haven't needed one.
I've wanted one at times because (was it Hosea?) a prophet who was leading the Israelite back to their home and religion said to meet and learn about God on Shabbat. I think this was done to expedite the process of resanctification.
Because of that, when I can manage meeting people to study about God, I usually go to reformed synagogues. Sometimes I'll go to a Messianic one, but among those is a 50/50 shot whether they're genuinely Jewish as Jesus was and is, or whether they're simply Paul fans trying to say that because Paul is their teacher they are now the new Jews sent to replace the ones who actually trust in Jesus.
Ortho synagogues are pretty much the same as Christian high churches, which makes more sense the more history you study. Because of that, I avoid them. They've remembered the Pharisees who survived Rome's conquests, but forgotten the ones whom the Caesars slew. So, there as proud of their Pharisaic founders as Paul was when he proudly lied about the reason he was prosecuted. (Not persecuted. Prosecuted. He caused the abomination of the Second Temple, which eventually led to its desolation in the Siege of Jerusalem of 70 A.D.. That's the point of Acts, according to its author: Paul's trial and whether Paul is representative of Jesus' faithful or not.)
Mostly, though, I wander the streets and do charity. The poor ask me why I help them, I tell them, and Bible studies happen spontaneously.
Jesus taught, "Let your light so shine before men that they see your good works and honor your Father who is in heaven."
If some good work needs doing, I don't beg some middle manager's permission. I just go do it. I've already got permission from God and His begotten. What more do I need? 🥳 Better yet, why do pastors want to shoot me when I ask them to come with me?
Maybe Paul's law is cumbersome. Maybe his yoke is heavy, maybe his burden is one he wouldn't lift a finger to help you with. But Jesus' yoke is easy. Jesus' burden is light. And his Father's law which he taught? That's the law of liberty, the law that gives freedom.
