Large, growing, healthy churches are successful at growing smaller while growing larger.

- Strong friendships are developed as small groups of members gather in homes regularly for study and fellowship.

- Connections are made as small groups of members do ministry together.

- Members gather to grow in areas like personal finance, marriage, parenting, recovery, and Bible study and break into smaller groups.

- Members gather in common areas at church like cafes, bookstores, and outdoor spaces and they get to know each other in smaller groups.

I also work at a very, very large company.  And I can’t help but think about how this growing smaller while growing larger principle from large churches could be applied at large companies.

- Collaboration works better within smaller groups of employees.

- Communication is easier within smaller groups of employees.

- Speed, agility, flexibility, adaptability are available within smaller groups of employees.

- Strong working relationships are developed easier within smaller groups of employees.

I wonder if companies that want to grow larger need to first think about growing smaller.
