Starting In A Small Church
Here's a great post from Keith Drury on the Advantages of Starting Your Ministry in a Small Church.
If This Is Not A Place. . .
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
If you only have 10 people attending, when you reach just 20 people you have increased attendance 100%.
ReplyDeleteIf you have 3000, it would take an additional 3000 to make the same claim.
By that same logic if you have 10 people and lose 5 you have cut your attendace by 1/2. You would have to make 1500 people leave if you have 3000.
