Small Church Benefits:  The family of God is a wonderful blessing; a blessing often experienced in small churches.

Picture


Churches come in all sizes...
  • 80% of churches are small
  • 10% of churches are medium
  • 10 % of churches are large

Bethel Lutheran would be considered a small church but God designed small churches for a purpose.





Small Church Benefits:

A Strong Sense of Family:
  • Everyone knows each other
  • Face -to face interaction is much easier
  • Even if at first your name is not remembered, your face will be remembered.

Family Relationships:
  • There is a feeling of belonging
  • Children relate to others besides their peers
  • Young and old benefit from each others strength and experiences





Opportunities To Grow:

Members Are Valued:
  • The number of roles that need to be filled are about the same for all churches
  • Each member's time, talents, and resources make a large difference in small churches.

Members Are Utilized:

  • Smaller churches use those willing to serve more often.
  • It is easier to develop your skills in a smaller church
  • Your work is truly appreciated


Members are supported:

Members are Missed:
  • One's absence can go unnoticed in a large church, but not in a small church.
  • If you need encouragement, it is easy to get lost in a crowd, but you will find support in a small church.
  • The caring nature of a small church is easy to find.
If you are looking for a small, friendly, biblical oriented church, we hope you will consider becoming a part of the family of God at Bethel Lutheran Church
