Small Churches Have So Much to Teach Us
So many small church pastors don’t ever learn those lessons because they’re biding their time until they get “called up” to a bigger church.
What a waste! Small churches have so much to teach us about ministry. Lessons that can help us lead better in any context—and at any size—if only we’re open to learning those lessons when we have the chance.
Pastoring a small church is not a penalty. It’s not a lesser calling. And it’s not a pit-stop on the way to something better.
Small churches are places of great joy, deep relationships and outstanding ministry opportunities.
And they can teach us unique and invaluable lessons that we can’t learn anywhere else.
