Many pastors and church planters believe that if they don’t grow their organization to a thousand people they have failed. The truth that no one seems to admit is that 90% of all churches in America are under 500 people.

Maybe instead of trying to reach one thousand or two thousand people perhaps our goal should be 500 and under. That’s a reasonable objective - one that I believe will eliminate the pressure of trying to be greater than that elusive 5 or 10%.

A Mega-Small church is one that’s big enough to impact your neighborhood and perhaps your city but small enough so that you don’t lose focus about what it means to be a community within a community with the possibility to impact your region and perhaps the nations.
