Go Big With Small GroupsGo Big With Small Groups:
11 Steps to an Explosive Small Group Ministry

By Bill Easum and John Atkinson (Abingdon, 2007)

Most churches that begin small groups find that within a couple of years, the number of small groups has dwindled in size and few, if any, of them have birthed other small groups. So, the only way most churches keep small groups going is by reinventing them over and over, usually with the same people. The authors have led congregations in which small-group ministry proved crucial to the church’s growth and understand how to make small groups growing, self-reproducing centers of Christian discipleship.

Why the Ideal Church Size Debate Is Unhelpful

Church size alone is not an indication of health or unhealth.

Leading With Kindness

Kindness isn’t weakness, it’s the expression of strength from someone who has something to offer. Kindness is not automatic, it’s a gift that you must choose to give.

Evangelism and the Privatization of Faith

Make friends, in your own way, and avoid isolating yourself—be open to show and share the love of God.
