Yes to the too small questions and the too big questions. That's why we need both. I've led two church plants through pre-mature launches and have felt the weight of no momentum, but also enjoyed the ability to be responsive to real needs that other churches could not due to overhead and busyness. Now I wonder if our insistence on big is hurting our ability to multiply rapidly and keep up with the multiplying population in America. Would it be better for a city to have one church that grows to 600 rapidly or 5 churches steadily growing to 120 that can be responsive and reproduce quickly?
