At a time when churches across denominations face a steady decline in
attendance, smaller congregations often find themselves overshadowed by
the push for growth and numbers. While larger ‘Resource Churches’ are
praised for their expansion, the true value of the smaller church is
frequently overlooked. But what if there’s a unique gift in these
smaller communities?
Jody Stowell invites you to explore how, in
the race for growth, we may be missing the deep significance and
essential role of smaller congregations. As anxiety about survival and
financial security spreads throughout the church, local churches and
their leaders bear the burden. Yet within these smaller churches lies a
richness, resilience and spiritual depth that is often lost in the
noise. This is a call to rediscover the profound worth of smaller
congregations and recognize their vital place in the future of faith
communities.
