Burning Question:

NOW! The #1 need among people is to belong … to be in relationship with other people. (See Newsweek and Time magazines articles about this). If this is true, then small groups are the answer to this need in the context of churches as well as outside of the church. But we have found that the very best time of year to start small groups is in the fall when school has started back up and summer vacations are over. Then follow the seasons, with January and Easter as two other prime launch times for small groups. January is a good restart time, when people are open to new ideas and programs and after Easter is prime time for new believer and new attender/member groups to begin.
