Small churches are usually small because of their small, petty attitude. That attitude can be negative, it can be elitist, it can be mean-spirited, or it can be just plain content with the status quo. But I have never found a small church that has been small for many years to be a healthy environment. (I’m afraid I just made some institutional folks unhappy.) My experience has been if the church is faithful to the Gospel it grows—period. I could say the same thing about a house church or small group. I base this on the Book of Acts—it is about the growth of Christianity and suggests to me that God wants the church to grow and spread. Read the story—it goes progressively from addition, to multitudes, to myriads of growth.

I'm not convinced that it is that simple. Although I suppose it could all be semantics, but life does produce life. How ever, some churches will never be big just because of geography and population density. I think rural churches, like mine, have a ceiling, but that ceiling is much higher than people would like to believe.
