How Small Groups Saved Our Big Church
When the sanctuary felt like a theater, the living rooms became the church again.
For a while our Sundays started to feel more like a concert than a church. Attendance was fine. The music was great. But the average person hadn't been known by name in months. Then we leaned hard into small groups.
Two years in, we have 38 groups meeting in 38 living rooms. The sanctuary still fills on Sundays, but the church has moved back into the neighborhoods. That's the win.
