QUESTION - you utilize the term "community" seemingly in place of the word "congregation." Acknowledging the need for close relationship/fellowship/community WITHIN a congregation, I've been thinking lately about creating a distinction between the congregation and the "community" that congregation serves, specifically thinking of trying to create a community 10x the size of the congregation. People who in some fashion or another have regular contact - in person or online - through your church. Maybe they look at your youtube page for devotions, or Facebook for a quick meme or come to a service event at your church or occasionally worship. The thought is that most congregations are too small for many tasks - they lack critical mass, but through a larger community, you often have access to all the resources one needs. Thoughts?
