Church Growth Sucks
4 Jan
As I mentioned a few days back I attend a small church that is quite lame but we love it. One of the questions we’re wrestling with is how we grow numerically? Right now we’re pretty limited by the space (we meet in a friend’s tiny living room) and by the number of quality small group leaders we can prod (bribe) into leading. Right now we grow to about 30 people and then drop down to 15, then grow to 30 and drop down again, and again, and again, etc.
The way I see it we have two options. 1. We find a bigger space to meet. 2. We split into two groups. I think we’ll probably end up going with option #1 for now but #2 is probably inevitable. That makes me sad. Growth is great but it also sucks.
I agree that it sucks, but I think if you don’t go the split route, you run the risk of this:
Split my friend. Split.
@josiah haha! That’s the goal.
