Advantages of Small and Rural Churches

Mike Garry
Communitas Church

Small, and especially rural, churches are often measured by standards that don't fit. This workshop highlights the real strengths of ministry in close-knit communities, where relationships run deep and leaders are known.

In this workshop, you will:

• Be reminded of the theological importance and faithfulness of the work you are already doing

• Hear practical, encouraging stories that show the unique opportunities of small and rural churches

• Identify clear next steps, including realistic metrics designed for smaller churches and youth ministries
