November 26, 2007
Buddy Oliver over on Rev22 just posted a pretty neat update on his small church endeavor, “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Exit Doors.” Kinda hits the nail on the head, I think.

How small is your church (attendance)? I thought the church I attend was small! We have 23 on a very good Sunday morning…kids number around 10. By the way, the adult number counts the pastor and his wife, musicians, etc.

That’s 23 adults plus the 10 kids…total 33 or so… didn’t quite make that clear…should have proofread before clicking send!

Well, we are a Simple Church (aka House Church). Right now we have 7 adults, 1 youth and 4 (sometimes 6) kids…. grand total of 12… (wow, nice number! never realized that before.)

Like my Daddy always said about friends….it quality not quantity that counts…SO true! We attend a church of several thousand, but somehow you still feel like family…it has a wonderful staff that are dedicated to the body. Very cool article.
