When y’all are mentioning ‘big’ churches, are you referring to the building capacity or the amount of people?
(buildings or people?)

People. We have around 10,000 members. However, one kind of requires the other.

Yup, I tend to see the Church as a congregation of believers rather than an edifice.

it is we tend use word church with the building the building is set apart for worship . we place big emphasis on numbers of people. my self i prefer the smaller church. average number can vary. very hard get people interested in attending Church.. after covid numbers went down. a buddy of mine who is a pastor his church is out in the country. he runs around 30-40 Sunday mornings

I agree. The place is just four walls and a roof.
