Episode notes

This chapter discusses the various challenges that large churches encounter, including complex organizational structures, lack of a defined spiritual formation path, too many competing programs and events, difficulties in multi-site churches, and the need for developed systems and strategies, particularly in communications. It also emphasizes the importance of reaching new people and fostering relationships through small groups.

Some common issues hold true for churches of all denominations and expressions as they grow beyond 1,000 and face an entirely new set of challenges as they near 2-3,000 mark.

In this episode, we'll discuss breaking the 2-3,000 barrier by exploring the common challenges that hold large churches back from future growth with some practical ideas on how to approach them.
