I'm not really big on church buildings, at least typical ones. But my church, Journey, meets in a school cafeteria and there is always the whispers on the want of a building. I don't know if i want that. we aren't committed to any place for more than a year. Keeps us free and if we move it will be a new area to reach out to. Which is GREAT!
If we get a building than people will come and show up and then the draw will tapper off gradually. What's the big deal with having a building.
I want to see what God does with a church that has no money and no building. And if the money comes, I want to see what the church does with it. Will they spend it on a themselves with a building or will they spend it on the poor and needy.
Perhaps size doesn't matter and is a lie to the consumer. perhaps if the church got bigger than eventually there would be a need for a school and then a need for something else. it feels like a trap, but if we give the money away, than, what will God do?
