How big is too big

[abcgrad94]

If you have a church that is active in evangelism and outreach and has a ministry of education and is worshipping and serving God as a church body, is it really problematic whether that church has a membership of 50 or 5,000 or any number in between?

If the Lord's work is being done, does it matter what the size of the congregation is?

Good point. I've been in small churches where nothing got done because people refused to change. On the other hand, I've been in big churches where people came for socialization and status and didn't do the Lord's work. The size wasn't really the problem, it was the hearts of the members.

I think the size will be determined by the size of the church building and the property in most cases.

If so, and the church is growing beyond it's building/property size, then they can either buy new property and build a new church building, expand their building, and/or plant churches!!
