Some sources say the Jerusalem church had over 70,000 members, there were over one million residents of Jerusalem in those days. I have been on an elder team in a church of 400 to 500. The church (1200 attendance) we currently attend has a Senior pastor but has very much a leadership team, not just in word, we also have outside counsel from mature leaders, that our team meets with regularly for counsel.
