Laurie Acker is one of the top experts in small church ministry and founder of the Small Church Network. Since beginning her Small Church Ministry organization in 2020, her website, podcast, and conferences have reached over 1 million people in small churches worldwide.
In this episode discussion centers around the importance of relationality, emotional health, and trust in effective church leadership, and the potential benefits and challenges of forming a network of small churches. Also emphasized is the need for empowering and developing existing volunteers, and the importance of embracing the ministry opportunities that Jesus provides, rather than focusing solely on growing a large church.
