Author Description

"Church growth literature has substantially addressed the concerns of the small church - defined as 'a church that averages 200 or less in a typical service.' For the tiny church, the church averaging 50 or less, however, little has been written. For a church in the latter category, 200 seems large. This book offers words of counsel and encouragement to the church that has 'few people, few resources, and few ministries.' Join the author on his stimulating exploration of the potential of the tiny church as he considers such elements as church 'self-image,' mission perspective, purpose statement, goals, distinctive traits, resource management, ministry specialization, and multichurch cooperation. The underlying certitude is clear: the tiny church, far from a failure, is an instrument of God's good news"--Back cover.
