"Pastor, the problem is we've got too many people traipsing through the doors every Sunday. Now while a big attendance definitely helps the Ways and Means Committee pay off the Flower Fund for the Convalescent Committee, we're starting to forget who's who in the congregation. Why, the church fathers feel we all might as well be going to a different church every Sunday because there's so many new faces here every week ... and pretty soon there's nobody in control of nothing."
"We don't want to be like other churches. We're fine with things just like they are."
"I don't know what's gonna happen to us if people start thinking anybody can just walk in here off the streets and feel welcome."
"I've never heard one person in this church say 'I wish we were bigger'."
"I wouldn't mind if our church was a little bigger."
"It's not numbers that count." (Unless we're talking about the Church's budget or its basketball games)
So why are some churches so afraid?
