Lovett Weems Jr. wrote a fascinating dive into the statics behind the growth in small churches. That is that 70% of all churches now have less than 100 regard attenders, and that the median church size in most denominations has shrunk. Many tiny churches have closed, but many have an opportunity to remain viable. The big question is how to do you do and remain actually focused of doing the work of the church. There is a real place for small, intimate, nimble churches who do vital ministry and let folks have a deeper connection with the people that they worship with. Sharing more than prayers is a way to start - coming together in networks of small churches to do more and take the edge off the isolation.
