How I Stopped Feeling Embarrassed by My Small Church

The front door of a small church is not the wardrobe to the magical land of Narnia. No one expects it to magically grow huge once they step inside. They knew it was small, but they came anyway. Maybe they came because it was small. They aren’t anticipating world-class staging and lighting. They don’t expect the sermon to include a Hollywood-quality video segment shot by the church’s visual arts team. In fact, they may have experienced that at a big church and realized it wasn’t for them. People who come to a small church aren’t expecting a big church experience. But they have a right to expect a really good small church experience.
