Small Groups on a Mission: One system does not fit all! Through many years of teaching and practicing Small Group Ministries, I have found that there are three basic types of groups used in churches with small groups. Discover the strengths and goals of each group and apply that which best fits your church's personality. You can be a church with small groups or you can be a church of small groups. Come find out the strategies of small groups and their purposes, you will be glad you did.

Session #1
TRIADS
These groups have two-five members each. They are gender base and are incredible in Spiritual Growth, Accountability, and Evangelism. They are the most flexible of all groups.

Ministry Groups meet for 10 weeks, each presenting a specific theme in reaching out to church members, friends, neighbors, and the community. Ministry Groups meet 3-4 times a year sharing different topics as will meet specific needs. Great for Spiritual Growth and/or meeting needs. A great ministry for both the members and the community.

Do you want to experience the small groups that have grown some of the largest groups in the world? These groups meet weekly, reach out to others and multiply as they fill to their limit, thus starting new groups. Each group enters into community, prayer, study, and reaches out in evangelism. A highly committed and spiritual experience grows disciples throughout their cycle.

This seminar explores innovative ways to grow and keep an audience.

While not discounting traditional mailings, it is important to use a multifaceted approach to build an audience. The better pre-work for a series, the more fruitful the results will be. We have identified 5 ways that every member can engage in the evangelism process. Even those with lots of experience with pubic evangelism will pick up some fresh ideas from this seminar.
