Download or read book Leading Small Groups That Thrive written by Ryan T. Hartwig and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly every church is trying to help their congregants build relationships with others, grow as disciples, and/or engage in meaningful service through small groups. Many have argued that these small groups are the preferred vehicle for relationship building, disciple making, and membership assimilation in the local church, especially in large, multisite churches. Leading Small Groups That Thrive shows small group leaders, step by step, how to plan for, launch, build, sustain, and multiply highly effective, transformational, healthy small group experiences where people grow spiritually together. Based on a large-scale research study of small group pastors, leaders, and members, Leading Small Groups That Thrive gives church leaders both what they want--practical, straightforward, actual small group member voices and experiences, and compelling guidance on how to build transformational groups complemented with real-life examples and data of successful small groups--and what they need--substantial, challenging insights and a data-driven model grounded in the latest research on church small groups.

Download or read book Simple Small Groups written by Bill Search and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, small groups have gone from spontaneous gatherings among friends to a major and elaborate phenomenon in the church. Many evangelical churches have some form of small groups ministry in place. But there's just one problem, says Bill Search--what started as a simple get-together has become a complicated process, especially for small group leaders. They are often not sure what is expected of them or what to expect from their groups as a result of their efforts. In Simple Small Groups, Search lays out the three C's of small groups--connecting, changing, and cultivating. This paradigm helps to simplify leading small groups in a way that is helpful, rewarding, and life changing. Unlike many other books geared toward small group leaders, Simple Small Groups does not require a church-wide adoption of an intricately designed system of assimilation, making it useful to any small group leader looking for guidance.
Download or read book Small Groups Made Easy written by Ryan Lokkesmoe and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You're interested in leading a small group, but you're a little afraid. What are you getting yourself into? How do you get started? Don't worry--you're not alone. Many small group leaders feel ill-equipped for the task of leading in spite of the many books, conferences, online resources, and church-based training opportunities that are available. Other small group books tend to focus on the overall theory of the small group's place in the life of the church rather than the day-to-day nuts and bolts. Small Groups Made Easy focuses on practical pointers, overcoming challenges, and how to lead discussions. Half the book is made up of short sample Bible studies and topical studies that include icebreaker questions, discussion questions about the text, and guides for leading prayer times. In this book you'll discover all the tools you need to lead an effective small group.

Download or read book Community That Is Christian written by Julie A. Gorman and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past thirty years there has been a boom in small groups, both in society at large and within the church. From Bible studies to MOPS to Alcoholics Anonymous, it is estimated that four out of ten Americans belong to a small group that meets regularly for the care and support of its members. But are these groups creating true, biblical community, or do they settle for self-focus and personal gain? Julie Gorman has studied small groups for decades and presents her analysis, insights, and suggestions in Community That Is Christian, an essential resource for building community in church-based small groups. This comprehensive book serves both as a text for those who equip leaders or lead small groups and as an interactive manual for small-group members, helping them transform their relationships into Christ-centered community. The book begins with biblical support for coming together, contrasting it with our often individualistic mind-set that undermines community. Gorman then sets forth the goals of community and describes the process of transformation. She draws from extensive research to address the why and the how of small-group ministry, giving special attention to gender and cultural distinctions. Community That Is Christian provides readers with charts, discussion questions, and inventories to further help them establish community within their small groups.

It contains instructions on how to use the interactive participant book and video in each session, as well as additional teaching content from the author. Forward is a seven-session small group study based on the virtues lifted up in 2 Peter 1:3-11: moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, affection for others, and love. Readers will discover the importance of actively pursuing a godly life, not just resisting sin but fully embracing the life of goodness and love that Christ offers us. In Forward, the first sequel to the One curriculum, author Nick Cunningham leads Christ-centered small groups to take the next step in faith together, pushing one another forward to grow in faith, knowledge, and actions consistent with a Christian life. As a sequel to Cunningham's study One: A Small Group Journey Toward Life-Changing Community, Forward follows the same format, including a participant book with teaching content and interactive elements; a leader guide; and video. Small groups that have not previously used One will enjoy Forward as a guide for developing Christian virtues with the support and partnership of others.
