The Rolling Hills Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Ga, is a church answering some of these questions. The decided to sell up their church and focus on what is really important and in the eye of God - people.
Here's a list of answers from their pastor's blog:
It’s not about how many people come to our church services – it’s about how many people our church serves.
It’s not about our seating capacity – it’s about our sending capacity.
It’s not about being “attractional” – it’s about being “incarnational”.
It’s not about making decisions – it’s about being disciples.
It’s not about building a monument – it’s about being a movement.
It’s not about being an organization – it’s about being an organism.
It’s not about keeping pace with the Joneses – it’s about keeping pace with Jesus.
It’s not about competing for members – it’s about creating partnerships for mission and ministry.
