Making The Connection! A Reference Guide for Small Group Ministry Leaders

During my years of consulting with executives and their teams, I have realized what is true of groups in the marketplace is true of groups in ministry: Little else matters if people don't first feel connected to one another. Education does not, experience does not, and skill does not. These important characteristics are unique to each individual in the group, but they don't affect the group's vitality until a connection is realized. Without feeling connected, people may attend our small groups but will they be changed? What we learn in our small groups doesn't transform lives, doing something differently because of what we learn does. Small groups are the heartbeat of any ministry. That is where the personal touch happens - where hearts are opened, needs are met, lives are changed. This reference guide explores 10 ways for you, as a small group leader/facilitator, to guide your group to Make The Connection.
