Tom 80% of the population go to megachurches. However 80% of our churches are smaller single staff churches.
The only paid staff is me and I am there whenever they want me and do a lot of work at home also.
Churches cannot be run like businesses. They are churches whole different ball game.
By the way the management of any church is the parishioners! Stewart At 07:49 PM 8/8/2009, you wrote: Yes, bad management tends to be a problem. I recently watched a once
prosperous church go through a change in management. New managers crowed about reforming past practices to run things in a more business-like manner. Long-time members became furious and contributions dried up. Long time volunteers and staff retired "early." New staff wants to be paid and leaves punctually at 5PM. The place definitely feels more business like. You may continue to attack me for advocating good management.
