In economics there is a term called the “velocity of money.” The basic meaning of it relates to “how fast money changes hands.” The faster money changes hands the better it is for everyone, the slower money changes hands the worse it gets for everyone. The economy does better the faster the money moves.
I thought about this concept and then immediately thought about (of course) the church. No matter what methodology you adhere to (i.e. small groups, connect groups, grow groups, or the relational web) it is all about the number of transactions of people have. Relationships grow with interactions.
And relationships are vital to the church (or any organization for that matter)!
