"A properly functioning church stays committed to its four biblical essentials: teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer (see Acts 2:42)." This is something valuable to keep in mind, for churches like mine that have doubled in size since we moved into our new church building.
It is also good to keep in mind in relation to my class growth as well, since in many ways, we are like a church within a church. And, I am glad to see that we have been focusing on those areas - Biblical teaching has definitely been a priority, we've been doing better in terms of fellowship, most of our gatherings involve "breaking of bread" in terms of eating together, and we have also incorporated prayer at the end of each class.
