There are southern baptist churches with close to 10,000 members it would be hard to vist all of them in one year.

But SBC churches, especially large ones, don't mind brining on more staff to meet the ministering needs. They also use the Sunday School and Deacons as well. Works pretty good most of the time.

The problem with a very large church is that some pastors just aren't cut out to deal with a huge number of nearly anonymous folks. They have to have that close bond or they don't feel like they're doing it right. I don't know what that says about large church pastors but they definitely have to know how to delegate some sheep or they go nuts.

Now thats just visiting and prayer. I mean, seriously, how do you do the Lord's Supper with ten thousand? Thats a lot o' biscuits.
