Duh Daily Scoop: Micro churches offer informal, interactive worship

Micro Church

The micro church concept is not really new, is it? Almost 90% of the Presbyterian Church (USA) congregations are under 100 members. But that is "small", not micro. And the small church is institutionalized in the image of the large church even though the dynamics are "family." And herein lies the challenge. Many small congregations are all about "family" and like their larger congregational siblings, rarely is discipleship and faith formation at the top of the list of priorities. The financial need to buy a new boiler or install a sound system, are.

The micro church is about discipleship, mentoring, peer learning and accountability, and faith community at a deep level. This movement may be only a temporary swing that fills the void between mega church and small church inauthenticity and in being such it could offer type of leader we have not seen in the church.
