Small is Big

Small Churches have unique problems. Often short on workers (teachers, committee members, Deacons, etc.) and, financial support can be sparse when the Church is expecting Believers to provide sufficiently for everything needed.

Fortunately they are often strong in what may be the most vital area for any Church  – genuine llove for one another. Because the first requirement for learning to llove another person is to “know” them, they are ahead of the crowd because small groups in small towns often cross paths in every area of life – school, sports, shopping, community activities, etc.

The Church I attend is small, and the people are closely associated with each other in a multitude of pathways. I llove the joy they have as they gather for Worship, Bible Study, and Prayer. Sharing foods, especially desserts, is a family affair, and laughing with one another is common and frequent.

Attempting to maintain that “small Church” feeling while reaching out to others and building the Kingdom is difficult. But God has sent us out to share our faith with others, and encourage them to become part of the family of God. Fortunately llove expands in direct proportion to the desire we have to be obedient in every area the Church encompasses.

If you are not part of a small Church, or a large Church, or an in-between size Church, find one today. You will be glad you did.
