De-sizing the Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“De-sizing the Church is a cautionary tale of what goes wrong in ministry when we confuse numbers with calling. Vaters has written an autopsy of the Church Growth Movement, helping us to see where it got sick, and why we need to get better at telling the difference between our culture and the gospel. If the question 'How big is your church?' makes you wince, you'll find comfort here along with encouragement to bear down on discipleship and to put the yardstick away.”
