Large or Small? What is the Ideal Church Size, Anyways?

Ultimately, there is no “ideal church size”—only ideal ways to maximize what we have and welcome everyone into the household of God. We can best serve our churches, whatever their size, by being aware that our physical space has an impact on our ministries.

Moving Our Congregations to More Effective Evangelism

Too often, people view the connection between discipleship and evangelism in one of two ways: either they inseparably lump them into one category, or one gets relegated to the wastelands of our faith life. If we are honest, usually evangelism gets the short end of the stick. The truth is, discipleship must include evangelism. Being a disciple of Christ means doing the work of evangelism.
