Lessons Learned in Small Groups
By Paul | April 10, 2007
Over the years, small group leaders have learned a lot of lessons that would be good to get more mileage from, by sharing them with all our leaders. Here are some (and feel free to post a comment to add to the list):
- It is important to contact people every week.
- Watch out when you think the group is going well.
- People are so needy that a little friendship goes a long way.
- Common tasks bind group members together.
- Not meeting at all in the summer causes the group to lose ground.
- Having men and women in separate groups for prayer and sharing is helpful.
- In care groups, husband and wife leaders must function as a mutually committed team.
- Keeping the purpose clearly in focus keeps the group on track.
- Sometimes passion, even more than maturity, is more of an essential quality of a good leader.
- A second and third committed couple/person is important to support the leader.
- Delegation is important in making disciples.
