DESCRIPTION

Certainly, large churches are generally regarded as more successful. This book challenges the assumption that size equates to success, and reminds readers that what counts is faithfulness to God's mission. A small church can be as effective as a large one. 

The majority of churches in the world are small, defined as under 250 worshipers. This book discusses the unique strengths that small churches possess despite, or even because of, their size. Pastors and leaders of small churches are encouraged to make the most of these advantages.

There are downsides of being small, and the book suggests how pastors and leaders of small churches can work around the limitations of size and resources to disciple members and reach out to the community. Large churches are also invited to recognize the synergy of working alongside small churches. Therefore, this book is relevant to constituents of churches both large and small.

Richard writes with a passion and keenness to correct the misconceptions and misgivings about small churches. This book fills a gap on the subject, especially in an Asian context. He shares his experiences to bless others called to lead small churches. Good things do come in small packages.
