Selected Series.
LittleBig Church
Big churches should learn to grow small! The bigger the church, the more tempting it is to neglect the little details: our relationships, our attitudes, our sense of community and care. We do so at our peril! We must never become content with being ‘big’ such that we forget to be ‘small.’ In this series, we look at Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, considering some of the down-to-earth, nitty-gritty details of how to build a LittleBig Church that excels in community, love, purity, unity and good relationships.
