I go to a small church as in 20 or less sometimes. I left and went to a bigger church , maybe 200 or so. I didn't fit in though so I came back. The ironic thing was that no one at the bigger church called or checked on me when I left but people at the smaller church had been during the time I was gone and I was shamed at how welcomed and happy they seemed when I came back. I was just wondering how mega church pastors could be shepherds. By the way. I agree about sheltering our kids and socializing among Christians. Yall must be super-organized to pull it off though.

They aren't. In a church of thousands, the pastor knows very few of the parishoners. Instead, your sunday school or small group leader becomes your de-fact pastor and the Sunday service becomes like a christian conference where members of multiple churches gather to hear a speaker.
