De-Sizing the Church - with Karl Vaters

We’re obsessed with bigness. Supersized meals and TV screens. Square footage. And big churches. “What’s the size of your church?” For a long time, we thought bigger was better. But more than ever, people are feeling disconnected. Trust in the church is dwindling. Thursday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, pastor and author, Karl Vaters, in his new book, De-Sizing the Church, reframes the way we see the size of our churches and helps us see health and fruitfulness through de-sized lenses. The result? Renewed congregations that reach surrounding communities and faithfully engage culture.
