Why Mid-Size Churches Have a Growing Advantage in Reaching People

A time existed when both Thom and Sam wondered if the mid-size church would dwindle as people transferred into megachurches and planted new churches. Today, mid-size churches have distinct advantages. The co-hosts cover several reasons why mid-size churches have new opportunities to thrive.
1. The megachurch movement is waning with the aging of the Baby Boomer generation.
2. Smaller churches will always have an appeal and a place in God's kingdom.
3. What size is a "mid-size" church? Around 150-300 people on at least 3-7 acres with a campus large enough to accommodate everyone.
4. Mid-size church campuses are large enough to accommodate growth but small enough not to be overcome by deferred maintenance.
5. Mid-size churches have enough people to build momentum with full programming for all ages.
6. Mid-size churches typically have enough funds to afford one or two full-time staff members.
7. Mid-size churches with good children's programs are appealing to Millennials.
8. Mid-size churches can focus on the immediate neighborhood in ways a large, regional church cannot.
