The Big Picture For Small Churches

How to Thrive and Survive as a Small Congregation

John Benton

Quantity

We live in a society that worships at the shrine of size, and churches too can fall victim to the thought. How many times have you been been asked how many attend your church on the Lord’s Day, and if you are in small fellowship felt a twinge of embarrassment? It is not easy to be upbeat about a church with just a few in the congregation.

John Benton has written a sensitive and practical book out of a heartfelt concern for the many small groups of God’s people who meet regularly and faithfully, but who may sometimes feel weak or isolated.

Highlighting the fact that it is the health of a church, not its size, that is important, he encourages small congregations (and large ones, too!) and shows how the few and seemingly powerless have been used by God throughout the history of the people of God. Little churches can be the seeds from which God may yet give a mighty harvest, for his glory.

The Big Picture For Small Churches

John Benton takes the local church back to basics in showing what is needed for a church to flourish, namely quality presence, welcome, teaching, hospitality and prayer. Of course all churches need these things, but it can be harder for a small church. On the other hand, God has done great things through small churches. Any church leader or member would benefit from reading this book.

The Big Picture For Small Churches

A wonderfully optimistic book about being a small church (fewer than 50 regular attenders). John Benton writes practically with sympathy and understanding. This would be especially helpful for the leaderships of small independent/Baptist churches to read together.
