Small congregations are my passion

Small congregations are not big places in miniature. They work differently. With different challenges and with distinctive strengths not generally available in big settings.

For the past fifteen years, I’ve worked to unleash these small-setting strengths. By reclaiming rich varieties of lay leadership. And by recognizing that ministry today requires more than replicating big-setting successes.

It’s time for small congregations to become local laboratories, indigenous innovators, and good news diagnosticians for the mission of the whole Church—again.

How can I support your ministry with small congregations?
