description: Brandon O'Brien helps pastors and church leaders understand that a smaller church is sometimes better than a big one. He demonstrates the strengths of small congregations including that today's church shoppers want services that are local personal and intimate. Also small churches provide space to nurture close relationships across age and lifestyle barriers and they facilitate a higher level of commitment from laypeople. And small church budgets are often more effective because of greater efficiency. The Strategically Small Church will encourage smallchurch pastors in their ministries and challenge them to play to their strengths.
