This is the whole thing:
How to take a church from 14 families to 40 families in only 10 years of bivocational ministry
Read the Bible. Pray. Talk to your church friends in long conversations over meals and coffee for years and years. Learn to love each other so that whatever you do in church gets filtered through your concern for how it will affect others in the community. Then do church in the ways that seem right to you. Let no other concern EVER surpass your desire to be right about church.
Postscript to pastors – Be prepared to find a second job.

First of all big churches have no need for the first two points. Reading the bible and praying is what gets small churches into their non-mega church problems.
