– Problem with women’s ministry events is that they can suck up so many resources that if we channel them elsewwhere we’d reach more of everyone, incl women.- 50ppl: sit here for any length of time, you become like a Collie: loyal to friends and bark at outsiders. Expect everyone knows each other. Develop history with each other and outsider can’t break in. In-bred feeling. Can only come as a friend of someone in the church.- 50ppl has limited resources for things like youth ministry. Tend to have a smaller vision and attract high-touch ppl.- 50ppl has to decide whether to grow up to 100ppl, or plant another church.- 50ppl a leader has to cast a vision for massive need and create discontent. This will lose things. It comes at a cost.- 50ppl take practical steps by breaking the skin of the community. Reshuffle the small groups. Move new venue or time of meeting. Or build parallel work as the pastor. Long term plan.
