  11. Pastorale grootte • 50-150*200-800

  12. Pastoraal: bediening …a key figure of the Pastoral size congregation is that members experience having their spiritual needs met through their personal relationship with a seminary trained pastor.

  13. Pastoraal : Predikant • Small enough that everybody can know the pastor personally • Leadership revolves around the pastor and a small group of leaders • Strong personal skills are important • Difficult to maintain for more than 150 members • Growth depends on the skills of the pastor-pastor is in controll • Pastors experience burnout frequently

  14. Program Grootte • 150-350*800-1500

  15. Program: Bediening • …the program church has many cells of activity headed by lay leaders…that includes pastoral functions

  17. Korporatief: Bediening …the quality of the corporate church is demonstrated mainly in the Sundayservice…conducted by a visionaryleader supported by a team …

  18. Spanning tussen groottes • Gemeentes wat bly in die “tussen-gebied” ervaar spanning • Gemeentes wat te lank in die “tussen-gebied” bly, sak terug. • Gemeentes wat bedieningsmodelle gebruik wat in ‘n vorige grootte pas, verloor lidmate. • Of gemeentes pas hulle strukture aan by hulle grootte of hulle groote pas aan by hulle strukture.

  19. Hoe kan die teorie ons help om die dinge wat werk meer te doen? • Om die dinge wat die werk nie te laat vaar?
