“What does it mean to be a ‘small church’ in the world today?” The easiest response to is to say that there is no single model of what a “small church” looks like. From the 150 year old white-clapboard sided church sitting at the country crossroads in rural eastern Maryland; to the coffee-house ministry serving a young urban crowd in Seattle; to the small mission church on the windswept plains of Navajoland; to the gritty urban congregation ministering in inner-city Brooklyn; to the intimate house-church in Los Angeles; to the vibrant Latino congregation in North Carolina – all fit the same general category of “small church”, and yet each lives out that vocation in a very different, very contextually driven atmosphere.
