Large church or small church?

What is your preference & why?

Small enough for the pastor to know your name and people to miss you when you're not there.

That's my preference as well.

As to why, well, because they have more to offer, IMO. The music is usually more broad spectrum, the choir is phenomenal, and people aren't in your business. There are also more people to help out when needed for various ministries.

That all depends on the church. Ours is pretty large 950-1000 and he knows pretty much everyone by name and does notice when they arent there.

This is the size of our church (on the higher end) and I agree.
