I was reading a thank you article to those who pastor small churches. I have been a part of a rural church for almost two decades. We are more than a handful but less than a football stadium of people.
In the midst of the content was an unsettling insinuation.
Small churches require a sacrifice. You always want to be getting way bigger than you currently are.
I say small churches are good to work with. You can always start another small church if you start growing.
I’d like to turn the thought on its head. Small and rural churches require next to no sacrifice. People can love God and love people – probably easier in a small church.
I guess I need to write a blog about large churches and the sacrifice it takes to be part of the leadership of that church!!
