Niche Church

We tend to think that church should be for everyone - and, of course, it is. Ideally, any given church will have the full range of ages - but many don't. I don't believe that we need to think that we have failed when that is the case. We can't all reach out to everyone all the time. We live in a world of consumer choice and of highly specialised interest groups. I think that the church needs to be there sometimes. Of course, the church, in the broadest sense, is for everyone. But certain congregations may be being called to address particular target groups. None of us can do everything. We ought to be looking for what God is calling us to do. If God wants us to serve in a particular niche, let's do it effectively and willingly. Then, together, we will see the Kingdom being built.
