@almellor tell you what, after I've read it ;-) I'll post back to say how I think it might help. All the best - Al.

Tough. A small church I was on the leadership team of asked this question. Eventually, we closed it down, largely after realising that all the money and effort being put into it was simply not affecting the community positively - not to the degree we would have wished, anyway. Other factors came into play as well, but I wonder how many other churches could honestly say 'no, were fine: we are having a huge impact on our local community outside of church'? I would like to think the answer is 'loads', but I suspect a period of painful introspection might follow anyone serious about this question (in the UK at least). Good post!
