With people attending church less frequently now, you average Sunday attendance represents a smaller percent of your regulars than ever befofe. And it affects how we pastor them and what they expect of the church in ways we may not realize.

Karl Vaters talks about this with Chad Brooks, a co-vocational pastor, blogger at RevChadBrooks.com, and the host of the Productive Pastor podcast, about:

Why church size matters— but not in the way you think it does
How to determine how many people you’re actually pastoring, since it’s changed a lot in the last couple years
Why the main weekend service may no longer be the wide end of your church funnel, anymore

The Moving Target of Small, Medium, and Large Churches — And Why It Matters

Karl Vaters talks with Chad Brooks about three different ways of deciding whether your church is small, medium, or big, including some helpful information that Chad found from actually interviewing church members about it.
