Articles for Small Group Leaders

You've started a small group. Now what?

"Whatever you want to happen in the lives of the members of your small groups must happen in the lives of your leaders first."

If you’ve been waiting to start something new, 2020 is a great year for some church experiments. Some might say that 2020 is an experiment gone wrong, but with life so some completely disrupted, you should embrace this as an opportunity to launch new things or end things that need to go away.

There are lots of great resources out there for why small groups are important and why you need to be in one. Your church’s purpose for small groups is great place to start.

How do we guide people into honest self-discovery?

Don’t waste the opportunity of 2020. Don’t sit around waiting for things to get back to normal. Normal is gone. Normal isn’t coming back. Embrace the disruption of 2020. The field is plowed. It’s time to plant.

There are things that you can do as the small group leader to help ease any tension newcomers may be feeling and help them feel more ‘at home’ whether your group meets in-person or online.
