Mega Church Secrets that Small Churches Should Know

Can your small church benefit from strategies that big churches use?

As a small church pastor, you may be critical of the “mega church mentality.” But some larger churches have worked out certain principles at an organizational level that may help your church get to the next season of its structure and leadership development. In other words, you can keep your small church experience while tearing pages from their playbook to improve your processes.

The Village church where Bro Matt is lead pastor is in a shopping center. It used to be a grocery store. But yes! There are creative ways for a church to get people in the door to share the gospel.

Great video. I planted a church 20 years ago, as a bivocational pastor, any thoughts on doing a video to help bivocational plant pastors with limited time?

[rev.brightamoahbentum]

Karl Vaters is a great resource for small church pastors.

Here's another principle I church employees sign the NDA so you can't talk about anything bad that is going on within the church....otherwise the church will sue you.

The goal isn't to become a mega church. God designed big and small churches. Bigger churches are different not better.

Hello Buddy can u help Pakistani christian we are build our church we have little money

Dear brothers in Christ - I commend you on being creative + thinking of varied ideas to outreach to your communities. I think we need to be cautious in thinking of ideas that seem maybe really good ideas, yet not God ideas that are not inspired + led by the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is not included, it's all in vain. I suggest you corporately pray + intercede in asking our Heavenly Father - thru the power of the Holy Spirit - in the Name of Jesus, what His plan is for your community, He knows best their needs. Corporate prayer in agreement is powerfully effective. Even hold the Lord to His promise of - that He provide all their/your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Pray + wait upon the Lord, + ask Him to train their/your spiritual ears to hear His voice strongly + clearly

Tipped for Praying. Do The Words, don't make My Father's House a house of merchandise mean anything to you?

The best thing a small church can do is never look to a big church at to what they are doing. Small churches have much more freedom to follow the New Testament model of church.

Took way too long to get to the polyvinyl sorry.

Lost me at Easter egg hunt. Bring pagan practices into your church and you will build a church on the bones of false converts. Gods bride is beautiful just as it is it doesn’t need to be whored up to attract carnal men.

Guys, I subscribed because of the potential but unsubscribed because this was way way to long. And you even mention 30 second videos! Watch your own video, edit it and cut it down. You even said it yourself! lol Hope you can get it figured out because you seem really cool.

The perfect church on Earth does not exist and you cannot make the perfect church. If you can prove me wrong and find this church DO NOT JOIN IT!!! If you do you will spoil it.
