80-120? How big is the one you attend ?
Jim Price
If we think of a church as a family, 80 to 120 would be large enough although the family size church often settles for less than it ought to be. It is hard to break in with a new idea, concept or vision.
Charles Page
As long as the pastor is getting his salary it shouldn’t matter the size
If congregation and pastor are happy
Jim Price
The problem here is that after paying for the building, lights, insurance & maybe a music leader there is often not enough left for the pastor and family.
Charles Page
Cutback -start with song leader
Jon Ray
It is hard for any church to break the family size of ~100 members and grow pass that barrier
David Lewayne Porter
According to the statistics given to us at an Eastern North Carolina Church of God Pastor’s Conference
The average church in America is 70 “attenders” (and less).
Jim Price
That sounds right.
Charles Page
Churches need grow outward not upward
