Focusing on Mission, Ministry & Leadership, Wellness and NZ Trends. Every day we come across material that's helpful to those ministering in the Church. Some of it is vital, some of it is just plain interesting. This blog will aim to include a wide mix of resource material: links to other blogs and sites, helpful quotes, anecdotal material you can use, the names of books worth reading and more.

BIG CHURCH, little church
Dave Gibbons, pastor of NewSong Church in Irvine, California, writes in an article in the print version of Leadership Journal:
"I love the church. It's God's vehicle for transformation. But I don't want the church to become so centralized that it can't reproduce, can't adopt multiple forms. And that works better when you're small, when you're on the verge, on the edge. Small is the new big. Big isn't bad, but it's overrated."

good quote!
But, that is not a photo of Dave Gibbons - I have no idea who it is. :) See Dave's photo with family at http://newsong.net/irvine/about/welcome.php
Thanks for letting me know about the photo. I think this is a Dave Gibbons - just not the right one! Had a bit of trouble trying to find a photo of him on his own.
I've now found the right Dave Gibbons...has a lot more hair than the other chap!
