Challenges of a Small Church

Being in a small church where the leadership may not have the resources or time to create an ideal culture can be frustrating and discouraging. However, if you believe you are called to serve and lead in that church, there are a few things you can do. Firstly, have an open and honest conversation with your pastor about your desire for growth and leadership development. See if there are any opportunities for mentorship or guidance within the church. Secondly, seek accountability, encouragement, and vision outside of your church. Look for other leaders or mentors who can pour into you and help you grow. Lastly, focus on honoring and serving your current leaders, even if they may not meet all your expectations. Trust that God can still work through them and that He has a purpose for you in that specific church. Keep trusting that He will provide what you need to thrive as a leader, regardless of the culture you are in.
