How many times have we heard these statements8230 We can8217t compete with the megachurch in our town!8221A new church was started two blocks from us. We8217ve got plenty of churches without them!8221The church brought another one of their campuses near us. It8217s totally unethical what they are doing.8221We can8217t reach young families. They all go to the big church that has all the children8217s and student stuff.8221We don8217t have the money or the people the other churches have.8221 Bestselling author Thom S. Rainer (I Am a Church Member, Autopsy of a Deceased Church) has heard comments like these hundreds, if not thousands, of times. They are statements of hopelessness. They are statements of despair. They are statements of defeat. Church leaders don8217t want to feel this way. They desire to break out of the mediocrity of the same, lame, and tame existence of their churches. They want their churches to make a difference. There is hope. God8217s hope. God8217s possibilities. What does a scrappy church look like? Let8217s take a look together.
