Our church blew apart when the congregation realized that some staff members were drawing very large salaries in relation to the local community, nurses, police officers and even some politicians. What emerged from the chaos was a small home group similar to yours. I believe that is what church should be and the institutionalized version we created is now defunct and probably always was. It might even have more to do with declining numbers than we think. Perhaps Covid will facilitate a change in direction and one that might just be a positive one.
