Big Church, Little Church – Bible Bytes – Mike Mazzalongo
The first question people ask when they find out that I'm a minister is the name of the church that I preach for and then, without fail, follow up with the query, "How big is your congregation?" It seems as if there is something about the size of the congregation I serve that somehow gives them insight into who I am and probably my abilities as a minister.
When it comes to judging the value of any congregation of the Lord's church and the competency of its workers, however, size is of limited use. Throughout the New Testament Jesus and His Apostles addressed disciples and churches on all kinds of issues both commending and correcting them but never once did they mention the size of any assembly in a negative or positive light. It's as if how big they were was not a factor used in judging their appeal to God.
This may be because churches can be pleasing to the Lord and useful in ministry no matter what size they eventually become.
For example, big churches can do big things like take on the support of an entire mission team that will plant churches and more quickly build up the kingdom in a place where Christianity is not well known. Large mega-churches also have weightier reputations in the community and can often influence local leaders in the doing of good that is Christian in nature and spiritually productive for the general public. The list of advantages available to large congregations goes on and on but they are not without their own problems.
