Burning Question:

I'd like to host—and lead—a small group. How do I go about getting people to be in my group?

A small group consists of between 8 and 12 members. You are able to choose how your group gets formed—your church can either assign people to your group or you can just invite them yourself! Here are what your options look like:

A. Friends of the Host: You may fill your group with people you know from your church or with your spiritually seeking friends who do not attend.

B. Friends of the Church: Your small group ministry team or person will automatically assign church people who sign up for your time and type of group unless you inform the team that your group is filled with those you have personally invited.

C. Friends of Friends: Friends of Friends are another primary way a Host may fill their groups. One couple knows another couple and they know about 10 other people, the rest is history.
