I was wondering what you all thought was better, a very large church (hundreds maybe even thousands of people) with a small young adult group or a small church with about 50 people of different walks of life. In the large church you would have peers about the same age as you so you could understand them better. In the small church you would have friends of different ages to where you can mentor some and get help from the older ones. So which do you all think would be more beneficial to a 20 something Christian? I'm just wondering about this. Thanks! :D

ahh, this is a hard question. I go to a large church and a small one. I feel if you want to be close to a few people, a big church is the way too go but if you really care about community then go to a small church. They each have their own benefits.

It's more about how many people you can hang with, and the level of initmacy, no matter how many attend or in what format. I know of a Skype group that attends church online together. If the church has a chat ministry established during the service, this really works, especially if the Skype group has a mature Christian for a moderator. You get the big service, but also the intimate dialog, as Skype groups are 24/7 once they are established. It's kind of a modern variation on Acts 2:46, and you gotta admit you don't have too much chance for that anymore. Plus, it is great for teenagers who do not have cars yet, and are used to internet groups anyway. The average age of the people in the group is just about 23, as a matter of fact. It would be great to see more of such options in the bigger churches.

Small church. All other things being equal, of course.
