The size of the congregation, although an important factor as far as methodology, matters little in the end. It all comes down to whether or not a church's elders are intentional about discipleship. I've been a part of small churches and currently attend a larger church. The leadership in the larger church has been more intentional about discipling its members than some of the smaller churches I attended. Which is more effective, I don't know. How you measure effectiveness is another thing all together. Not really sure how that is done methodologically. I don't suppose we'll fuller comprehend how effective we are until eternity.
