Through studying the scriptures and recent history of the start of our small churches, four key attributes are needed for our small congregations to thrive and become self-sustaining churches -- critical mass of believers, local ministry / leadership, common purpose or Vision for outreach and deep and abiding love for God and each other. Often within our small churches, these attributes have not materialized completely, which inhibits their establishment.
