In this episode of the DoorWays® Ministry Network podcast, Ric Shields interviews Dr. Daniel Isgrigg, a Pentecostal historian and associate professor at Oral Roberts University. They discuss the unique challenges faced by pastors of average-sized churches, which typically have between 50 to 200 attendees. Isgrigg shares his experiences of managing expectations, resources, and infrastructure in a smaller church setting. He also discusses the importance of embracing the uniqueness of a church's setting and community, rather than trying to replicate larger churches. Isgrigg shares insights on how to handle worship services, special holidays like Easter, and the inevitable departure of church members. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of seeing the value in what small churches do and the need for pastors to involve more people in ministry.
