Burning Question:

We've had a small group ministry for some time now, but we're looking to grow the number of groups. How do we do this?

One way is to identify groups first by geography then by affinity (couples, singles, women, and men groups). Once you have assessed this, assign staff or lay leadership over the groups, preferably in their neighborhood area. If supervisors are in a group's area and are at similar life stages as their group, they will more likely take ownership. Supervisors can be staff members, volunteers, or even token paid volunteers.
