À propos de ce contenu audio

The normal expression of a Christian church is small.

In the United States, most congregations number fewer than 80 people. Across the world, the numbers are even smaller.

Big churches are the anomalies. However, large congregations that effectively operate as clusters of small ones are a growing phenomenon. We'll explore how this model is poised to plant new congregations outside the circle if their own fellowships.

Recapturing the power of "small" is key to fulfilling the Acts 1:8 imperative to take the gospel from our local communities to people nearby but somewhat unlike us and then to the far corners of the earth.

    • Microchurch: What Is It and How Do You Justify It?
      May 4 2023

      This episode kicks off our study of microchurch.

      You might think of microchurches as house churches that meet in places besides homes--basketball courts, automotive garages, food courts, law offices and digital spaces come to mind.

      They offer a low-risk (to planters and senders) approach to church multiplication. In some cases, "microchurches" have grown macro to the point of outgrowing and even out multiplying the sending congregations.

    • Three Kingdom Benefits of Microchurches
      May 4 2023

      In this session, you'll gain insight into these simple and profound benefits of microchurch planting.

      Microchurches can penetrate unreached people groups like skaters, skiers, women's tennis clubs, people who frequent a local bar, and partners in a law firm. The list goes on without end.

      These are the pseudo-families in your community. Most won't make it through your doors but you can take the church to them where they live, work and play.

    • Five Local Benefits from Microchurch Planting
      May 4 2023

      In this session, we'll examine five things shifting to a microchurch paradigm generates for a local sending congregation:

      1. Limited risks to the planting pastor (doesn't need to move or leave job, etc.).

      2. Reduced costs to the sending congregation.

      3. You know the planters well before sending them).

      4. The ability to fly under the radar of government regulations until they reach a certain maturity.

      5. Microchurches as missional enterprises generate opportunities to change local people groups from within.
