By Mark Dever

Small churches face unique challenges and opportunities. They often have limited resources, and they may be located in areas where the population is declining. But small churches can also be more nimble and responsive than larger churches, and they can often build closer relationships with their members.

In his book, 100 Things Small Church Pastors Need to Reconsider, experienced pastor Mark Dever offers 100 things that small church pastors need to reconsider in Free Download to lead their churches to greater health and vitality.

Dever covers a wide range of topics, from the pastor's role to the church's worship style. He challenges some of the conventional wisdom about small churches, and he offers practical advice for pastors who are looking to lead their churches to greater effectiveness.

Here are a few of the things that Dever reconsiders in his book:

The pastor's role: Dever argues that the pastor's role is not to be a CEO or a celebrity, but to be a servant-leader who equips the saints for the work of ministry.
The church's worship style: Dever believes that the church's worship style should be rooted in the Scriptures and should be designed to help people encounter God.
The church's outreach strategy: Dever encourages pastors to focus on reaching out to their local communities with the gospel.
The church's discipleship strategy: Dever emphasizes the importance of discipling believers and helping them to grow in their faith.

100 Things Small Church Pastors Need to Reconsider is a valuable resource for pastors of small churches. Dever's insights and advice can help pastors to lead their churches to greater health and vitality.
