Personally, I don't care how big or small a church is.

If the pastor is giving a great message from the Bible, I'm there.

I’m with the others. Like ‘em small. I can find a small church that teaches the Gospel. Plus I like it when the pastor shakes your hand after church and knows your name. In these megachurches that does not happen.

If you're ever in Tucumcari, NM, stop by St. Anne's Catholic Church. My son & I attended Mass during our vacation last year. Fr. Anuta's homily on prayer was inspirational.

Our parish is St. Ann in Coppell, TX. It has over 30,000 members and over 100 ministries. Alas, less than 1/3 attend Mass regularly, otherwise, there'd be a need for 5-6 additional services on weekends (our church holds approx. 1500).

Established with less than 400 families in the early 90s, it's now the 6th largest Catholic parish in the US. It's been a privilege to contribute to that growth, but I prefer smaller gatherings. That's why I opt for my 6th grade class on Wednesday night vs. Sunday.
