What Are Micro Churches and How Can You Start One Yourself?

Micro churches are springing up and giving small, local communities a cozier place of worship.

If there is one thing that puts many people off from entering into a place of religious worship, it is often how large and how grand it is. It is all too easy to get lost in the crowd, and feel that you do not really matter. But micro churches, a phenomenon that is becoming more and more popular, aim to combat that feeling of confusion and being lost in a crowd, and many would argue that they are doing a very good job.

Micro churches are basically what it says on the tin: small churches, usually not including more than thirty or so members. A church this size gives a natural, family feel, where everyone knows each other’s names, and no one can get lost in the crowd.
