The normal expression of a Christian church is small.
In the United States, most congregations number fewer than 80 people. Across the world, the numbers are even smaller.
Big churches are the anomalies. However, large congregations that effectively operate as clusters of small ones are a growing phenomenon. We'll explore how this model is poised to plant new congregations outside the circle if their own fellowships.
Recapturing the power of "small" is key to fulfilling the Acts 1:8 imperative to take the gospel from our local communities to people nearby but somewhat unlike us and then to the far corners of the earth.
