Do you think conservative churches would be better off with fewer programs?
Mark Dever suggests fewer programs in the church will make more time for real ministry. Other people might counter that more programs mean structured contact with more people — it really happens.
What is your experience? Please comment in one of more of these areas, if you wish:
(1) Are a wealth of programs good for growing a church numerically, but counter-productive in matters of spiritual depth and actual discipleship?
(2) Are the many programs often the wrong programs, and would an improved direction help?
