It seems 80% of small curches began from selfish motives. God doesn't call 2 upci churches 5 minutes from each other.

Sometimes folks go to a small church for a specific reason (the purpose of God) when that purpose or growth has been accomplished in them God moves them on, the pastor should give glory to God that he has been used by God for that specific purpose rather than upset or bitter that they have left him. After all it is God's church not his or anyone else's.
