Episode notes

This chapter explores the reasons why small churches get stuck and fail to grow, such as an insider focus, reliance on the senior pastor for all ministry, prioritizing busyness over relationships, and decision-making processes. It also discusses the benefits of adding a second service, including cost-effectiveness, increased accessibility for new visitors, and the opportunity for volunteers to both attend and serve.

We want all churches, regardless of their size today, to be healthy and to experience growth. That’s why in this new series, we’re going to discuss how to break common growth barriers for churches of four different sizes: small, mid-size, large, and very large.

In this episode, Tony and Amy will walk through seven common reasons that small churches get stuck and offer practical ideas for breaking into the next season of growth.
