“What makes a small church successful is what will eventually halt its growth. Everyone in a small church knows everyone else. This creates a tight community, composed largely of the kind of people ‘we like’ - people who were ‘like us.’ This makes fellowship close and builds a family-type atmosphere. Small churches, without realizing it, intuitively resist growth at some point since continued growth threatens the closeness they so enjoy.” - Michael Fletcher, Overcoming Barriers to Growth (Bethany House, 2006)
