Build a Successful Small-Group Ministry:
 

I just wanted to drop this here for those interested in small group ministry.

How many of you are focused on small group ministry?

Re: Build a Successful Small-Group Ministry:
 

Focused? Not. But I should be.

I've talked about it for years and it still my heartbeat as I continue to tire of the trappings of the modern church model.

Thanks for the info. I'll take a look.

I think Small Groups are a great start... but I don't think they go far enough toward the heart of being missional.

Re: Build a Successful Small-Group Ministry:
 

I think small groups are very "missional"

But their mission isn't continual growth of their own personal group but continual growth of the whole of the Body.

After all... it was a small group style church that turned their world upside down.

"missional"
The emergent movement vocabulary.

Labels = the tool of the slandering ignorant.

Missional = Apostolic

love small groups. 2nd Sunday of every month we have them. We have about
10-11 homes desinated for them....

We have truly been blessed with this ministry. Each home usually averages
30-40 people.........:thumbsup

Ahhhh...

The magic word... emergent.

Emergent Flan - Evil Flan
Emergent Ceiling Tile - Evil Ceiling Tile
Emergent Underwear - Evil Underwear. You better watch out... It'll creep up on you. :)

D4T, I do think "Small Group Ministry" is part of it, and like I said, it's a great start, but it doesn't connect all the dots.

Yeah, "Small Groups" used to be called Charismatic and Emergent, so... just give them time... they are usually 20 years behind.
