I was a pastor and Bible college instructor for 40 years (now retired) and have had the privilege of serving in both large and small churches and schools.<br /><br />Obviously, large organizations can off many programs and services that are impossible for smaller ones. However, the latter have no need to develop an inferiority complex. In my experience, they provide for an intimacy of relationships and other dynamic assets that are extremely difficult to experience with a large group of people.<br /><br />There is also the size of the community to consider. Across Canada (and the States too, I'm sure) there are many small and somewhat remote towns. The option of building a mega-church is not open to them. But the people in the community still need ministry.<br /><br />I'm not telling you anything new. But I just wanted to say I appreciate your emphasis.
