The Karl Vaters / Carey Nieuwhof Podcast: Bridging the Big/Small Church Divide
Carey Nieuwhof is a name that is rising fast in the Christian blogosphere.
Seven years ago, Carey founded the fast-growing, multi-site Connexus Church (about 1,500 people) in the small city of Barrie, Ontario, Canada (population 128,000).
His primary blogging topic? Church growth.

My primary blogging topic? Small Churches.
