What the gathering of believers (church) is not

My argument stands simple, the gather of the believers (church) is not for the unsaved, it is for making disciples, teaching and rebuking the believers. Assisting them in their journey to be more like Christ. Is it not better to have 30 or 40 people together, wholly devoted to God and his teachings, submissive to church leadership, growing spiritually, and in turn going to their jobs on monday morning and sharing the gospel with those around them, than it is to have 3000 or 4000 disconnected, program consuming, weekend culture christians with no growth, and no respect towards leadership. 

Go therefore and make disciples, not megachurches.... nothing against them, some I am am sure might be doing it right, but unity is the litmus test. View of church and the measure of it's success is what is displayed in the bible, not giving reports, not membership, not campus sizes or numbers. 

There is stands, to my generation, what will be your response?
