Six Benefits of Attending a Small Church — 10 Comments

  1. Thank you for these encouraging words. My church is small, and sadly we only have one pre-teen student to call our own. Other grandchildren come occasionally. We are praying for more young families to join our aging church family.

    • Janice, it’s a struggle, but not one without blessing. My aging church is looking for ways we can serve the community to try to draw new families in. We’ve also started doing neighborhood mailers to remind people we’re here. We’re beginning to see some results!

  2. I love our little church, which was originally a barn. I’m the one and only Sunday school teacher to the four kids there. I grew up in a large church, but knowing everyone where we go now makes it much more fun.

  3. I have been really struggling since I have moved from Edinburgh city to a small town in Midlothian to settle into a local Church, I got saved almost 5 years ago, hubby isint saved and I have a 6 year old boy, we where part of a big city centre church (no previous church background before being saved) I am so hungry to be part of a church family and to serve but this small church is very traditional very small and my son is the only child. I would prefer to keep going I know this church wants more families to come in but I just don’t take in the teaching and the mood is quite sombre. I don’t drive but planning to start lessons soon but even then I would like to be part of my local church as I’ve been traveling into the city with my son by bus but this is a struggle each Sunday, I’m just not sure what to do and I have missed attending a church alot

  4. Charlene, thank you for your comment. I commend you for your hunger to serve and be part of a church family. Are there other churches near you that you might try? Though there are benefits in attending a small church, it’s important to find a church that suits you, regardless of its size. It would be so nice too, for your son to have a friend at church. I’ll be praying for you to find a church where you can feel at home. The right church will be blessed to have you!
