Instead of learning how to walk in the faith that actually receives, so many are trying to figure out how they can downsize so that it's easier.

Ministry is not easy, nor is it cheap.
Jesus never commanded to go and build churches..that is..expensive beautiful buildings with high overhead.We as believers are the real church.Meeting at Starbucks can also be consider having church.

Nothing wrong with downsizing..just split up and expand..a city with 3-5 house churches could easily evangelize and reach more.
