Small Churches
In Baptists Together, out of approximately 1830 churches, 1057 have 40 members or less. This makes nearly 58% of all churches! These numbers can dominate our thinking if we are not careful. But it’s not about numbers – it’s about churches being healthy and effective! Our job, the Great Commission in Matthew 28, is to go and make disciples, baptise them and teach them to make disciples. This has no size limit!
