Those serving in small churches face situations that larger churches cannot understand. I have seen time and time again people posting in various Facebook groups about situations they face and people often respond with “large church” answers to try to solve “small church” problems. This simply does not work.
The small church children’s ministry leaders are crying out for support, encouragement, and advice. My prayer is that this website becomes that resource.
What is a small church?
A small church is generally defined as having less than 200 total people attending typical Sunday morning services. Stats report that about 85% of all churches have a total attendance of 150 or less on a Sunday morning. For purposes of this website, we are viewing the small church based on the stat. A small church is a church that has on average 150 attendees on a Sunday morning.
In these churches, the children’s ministry is generally overseen by a volunteer who may have minimal, if any, Biblical training outside of their personal study and local church. Their experience is simply a desire to reach children with the Gospel.
