I found the issue was based more on an occupational calling as opposed to a spiritual calling. Granted healthcare is a legitimate concern I don't see salary packages and budgets as the greatest challenge for the small church.

The greatest challenge that faces not only small churches but every congregation size is NOT limited finances/health care, but rather from a biblical standpoint alone, it is that we be lukewarm. If God's people in every size congregation get on fire for His kingdom and the growth of it (spiritually and numerically), along with being taught to live out the principles that help us lead a passionate life that impacts the world, then resources will naturally flood in. Lack of resources is simply a bi-product of us as Christians not getting out of comfort zones and giving HIM all of who we are. Good news - we CAN do it!

The small church's greatest challeng is attracting true servants who are lead by the spirit and not by the size of the salary package. We have too many manufactured ministers and few who are truly called or answer the call to the ministry. As Christians and true servants; the mega church should be more supportive of the small church's needs to assist in outreach for those who are unable, incapable, disabled, or have fallen through the cracks of the mega church. The next topic should be "Whats wrong with the mega church"? There are as many leaving the mega church as are joining because they cant seem to get plugged in due to the status of their social situation within the church and are rejected by the cliques.
