You can definitely limit the size of the church (in a healthy way) by making sure that you multiply small groups that grow beyond a specified size (18 - 20 works nice, at that point you are losing a degree of intimacy already) but more important you make sure that you cultivate the gifts needed to lead these groups — otherwise you end up with
a bunch of small churches and a burned out pastor.
