Small But Mighty Church
October 9, 2018
Who says bigger is better!? If that were the case, Jesus would have surely gathered more than 12 disciples to teach and lead. The truth is, there are some real advantages of being a small congregation! Come and hear how one church has embraced being a small congregation, and as a result has found that they can be mighty in the Kingdom of God. We'll talk about strengths, opportunities, and how to overcome 'perceived' obstacles in the small church so that we don't just survive, but actually thrive as we answer Jesus' call to discipleship and mission in our communities and world.
