Can A Small Church Also Be A Great Church? (Podcast)

What does a great Small Church look like? Since launching NewSmallChurch.com, that's been the question I've been asked more than any other. Isn't that strange? 90% of the churches in the world are under 200, but we don't know how to do Small Church well? Or even that small can be great? The truth is that size has nothing to do with greatness. Especially in the kingdom of God. Too many of us have been told - or have told ourselves - that a Small Church cannot be a great church. So how can a church be great if the pastor and leadership don't even believe that is possible? In this podcast, with Jeff and Jonny from 200Churches.com, we talk about the content of my post, It's Time For Small Churches To Become Great Churches.

Since launching NewSmallChurch.com, that’s been the question I’ve been asked more than any other.

Isn’t that strange? 90% of the churches in the world are under 200, but we don’t know how to do Small Church well?

Size has nothing to do with greatness. Especially in the kingdom of God.

Too many of us have been told – or have told ourselves – that a Small Church cannot be a great church. So how can a church be great if the pastor and leadership don’t even believe that is possible?

In this podcast, with Jeff and Jonny from 200Churches.com, we talk about the content of my post, It’s Time For Small Churches To Become Great Churches.

In it, we chat about some important principles, like

  • How the church must do better at helping hurting people
  • Small Churches are not just small versions of big churches
  • Keeping true to your church’s unique voice
  • Narrowing your focus
  • The value of pastoral longevity
  • and more

(Episode 85 – 36:55 total run time)
