To hear my pastor tell it, he wants souls in the pews so he has a chance to preach the gospel to them. The other pastors seem content to preach to the same 20 people each week. So as they call him a compromiser, he says scoreboard. (He was quite an athlete before he received his calling, so he likes sports analogies even if he messes them up on a regular basis. He gets this one right, but this is certainly not always the case. Haha!)

Just so no one reads this and misconstrues it, my pastor does not think attendance numbers are the end all be all. But if the name of the game is preaching the gospel to as many people as possible and bringing them to repentance and baptizing them in Jesus name, then he is seeing better results than those calling him a compromiser.
Your pastor sounds like the real deal to me.
