When it comes to effective ministry, often the size of the congregation takes a backseat to its overall health. For over 30 years God has focused pastor Karl Vaters' ministry in the small church context. We believe that it takes all kinds of churches to reach all kinds of people, and small churches that are adaptable and healthy are uniquely equipped to navigate the coming post- COVID reality.
 
Rev. Vaters is the Author of:
