In this episode, Tony Kummer joins us to share some results and statistics from a survey distributed to smaller churches throughout the country, helping give us a sense of what the average-size church is experiencing post-COVID. Tony also shares about a couple of ministries he operates to help serve smaller churches that operate on small children's ministry budgets.
