Small groups are where disciples can learn more about God, one another and more about themselves as they grown in their faith. Whether you are just starting a small group ministry in your church or are looking for ways to rejuvenate your small groups, this resource can provide insight, helpful tips and most importantly leave you feeling positive that you are on a path to success surrounding small group ministries in the life of your congregation. We invite you to navigate through the resources below as you begin to rethink what small groups mean to your congregation. |

Thinking About the Basics of Small Groups
Sometimes, thinking back to the basics of small groups really helps to break down the complexity of why they are important and what they help to achieve. This series of videos does just that. Some churches may just be starting to form small groups and wish to watch each of them, while others are looking for ways to enhance the groups they already have in place and only want to watch one of two of the presentations. Whatever your need, we hope that you find these short videos to be helpful. |

We’ve taken the guess work out of finding the needle in the haystack for you and have narrowed it down to a reasonable number of resources that we enjoy using when thinking about small groups and have provided a review to explain why we love using the resource.
