About this listen

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.

    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.
