There seems to be a standard assumption in American culture today that bigger is better.

But, why be big?

Why is big better?

This same assumption permeates much of the American church too. Churches must be bigger. Bigger churches are more successful.

Is that really true? Are bigger churches really better, or more successful, or more godly, or <insert claim here>?

Maybe churches should go back to the bible and evaluate what it teaches about big. The answers might be surprising.

And if bigger doesn't equal better, more successful, etc., then why pursue being bigger?
