Which do you prefer a big church or a small church? There some advantages in both. In a small church you can become well known and even have a personal relationship with the pastor. It might seem more quaint or homey and it may give you the feel of intimate connection.
A large church can provide anonimty. It also may have better resources to help make the worship experience better. Which do you prefer and why?

i think small churches are more appropriate if you want to be served nicely. smallchurches are like a community where everyone knows each other nd are willing to help one another whenever the need arises. big churches on the other hand are impersonnal with very little interaction between the congregation.

Small church, I like being well acquainted with the people I worship with. A big church has more drama and more politics. I hate to say it but that's the way it goes when you deal with people the more the worse the drama.

Personally I like a big church since big church buildings can be notice immediately by the people. People will be visually influenced to go to church and worship there. Now a days, several buildings have been constructed and they are gigantic in sizes. Churches should be gigantic too to be able to be notice and to established a conception that religion in the community are very much alive and existing. We should put to our minds that we must show that we have a great interest in religion and not for any business. Today we can see big buildings and malls but it is very seldom to see big churches. It seems that it show that money making businesses are more important than our spiritual life since we build those structures much bigger and making those churches much smaller.

Though big churches usually have a wonderful worship service and is very lovely to attend, I like small churches (most of the time). Because it is so small, people notice you and are very friendly. You also develop more personal relationships with more of the congregation. But of course it all depends on what you are more comfortable with.
