Burning Question:

FOR PASTORS
How do I effectively assimilate church attendees into groups?

Probably the most important factor here is to communicate the vision from the pulpit through testimonies and stories of what and how small groups are doing in people's lives. The stories of life transforming life in the individual members of your congregation will have greater impact than any ask you can do. The Senior Pastor's own buy in, and listing the benefits of being in a small group are also key motivating factors. When the Senior Pastors says I am going to a group too" the ripple effect is contagious Everyone wants to "belong" … so jump on that band wagon and use it to draw people in.
