I am a pastor, and as a pastor, the single most popular question that people ask me is “How is the church going?” Different people ask for different reasons, but they all say the same thing: “How’s the church going?”, as to inquire about its size. I’ll be honest and say, depending on who asked and why I think they asked it, determines how I answer the question; but I always answer the question honestly. For the sake of brevity I will be direct with you, mostly because you didn’t ask. I pastor a small church. A very small: like smaller than the average small church. For me it is both outstanding and overwhelming. It is simultaneously fantastic and frustrating, because small churches, just like everything else in life has its pros and cons. I really enjoy the intimacy of the small church, because it feels like family, but the limited resources present a burden that many larger church don’t have to stress about. So long story short, our church work is good but it’s not easy. (more…)
