Small Churches. Big Impact.
Across Canada, small churches are no longer the exception — they are the norm. Most churches today are small.
The question is no longer how to grow back to what was, but how to embrace what is and discover the strength within it.
Broadview’s Small Church Issue explores a hopeful shift already underway across the country: churches redefining growth — not by numbers, but by depth, relationships and impact.
Two ways to be part of the Small Church Issue:
Order copies for your community or honour a small church/leader that shaped your life.

HONOUR A SMALL CHURCH OR LEADER
Celebrate the Impact of Small Churches
Small churches may be one of Canada’s best kept secrets. They quietly hold communities together. They show up. They care. They create spaces where people belong. Often, the impact of small churches and small church leaders goes unrecognized.
With a tax-deductible donation, you can help change that.
Honour a small church — or a leader (lay or clergy) — who has made a difference in your life. Their name will be included in a special Honour Roll printed in The Small Church Issue of Broadview.
Your gift:
- honours meaningful ministry
- celebrates small churches across Canada
- helps sustain coverage of faith communities
- ensures these stories are told
*Suggested donation: $50+ (tax-receiptable) Deadline for inclusion: July 10
