About this title

From the Back Cover

BIG THINGS COME IN SMALL GROUPS. The past several years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of small groups meeting within and around the local church. And the impact of these small groups on the local church has been just as dramatic. Small groups are where many people “connect” with others to talk through and work out the real issues of the Christian life. As increasing numbers of “Baby Boomers” return to the church, many of them look to small groups to help them find their way back into local church life. More and more local churches are convinced of the benefits and the necessity of having an organized small groups ministry. But how does one go about starting such a ministry? You know the old adage: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” But how do you plan for something you’ve never done before? How to Build a Small-Groups Ministry will walk you through the critical steps to planning and coordinating a successful program for small groups in your local church. This hands-on handbook includes three essential features: 1) Twelve logical steps for organizing and administrating a small groups ministry 2) A case study of a church in the process of implementing this plan 3) Worksheets for developing a plan for your own church Because each church situation is different, this workbook is designed to teach you basic principles that apply to all small groups and then help you adapt these principles to the particular needs and operational style of your local church. Help your church experience the excitement and dynamic growth of small groups with How to Build a Small groups Ministry. It’s a small investment that can pay off in a big way.
