Meet Karl Vaters: A Voice for the Pastoral Majority

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to "get big or get out," Karl Vaters is the breath of fresh air you need. With over 40 years of pastoral experience, Karl has dedicated his ministry to debunking the myth that "bigger is always better".

He is the author of game-changing resources that empower the 90% of churches that average under 200 people:

Small Church Essentials: A field-tested guide that helps leaders stop believing lies about church size and start focusing on unique kingdom strengths.

De-Sizing the Church: His latest work (formerly known by the working title Designing the Church) which challenges the "obsession" with numeric science and points us back to biblical vitality.

Karl doesn’t just offer theories; he offers practical tools for healthy, vibrant ministry in your specific context. Whether you are a pastor, a lay leader, or a missions enthusiast, you will leave inspired to see your church as God sees it—vital, effective, and exactly where it needs to be.

Don't miss this opportunity to gather at the CNH Ministry Center and reimagine the future of our missions together.
