Well put! To cite from Rick Warren's book, "The Purpose Driven Church", he describes churches from his study. One of the church descriptions was called, "The Family Reunion Church". He said that this type of church can withstand anything, poor preaching, church splits, etc. But, it will not have significant church growth. Good viewpoint!

That described exactly our old church, the one my wife grew up in. It is around 90-100 members yet half are related. The most significant church growth has been happening during the last two years when about 10 to 12 babies have been born since the new pastor instituted a no-birth control policy.
