Part of the ‘Groups That Grow’ series of small group resources, authors Bill Donahue and Russ Robinson give you guidance for the strategic decisions that must be made to establish, develop and grow a thriving small group ministry in the local church. In Building a Life-Changing Small Group Ministry, the authors give practical answers to questions that include:

* Which approach or model for small group ministry is best for my church?
* Who has responsibility for the ministry and how are they supported?
* How do I organize the groups and coach the leaders?
* Where do I find leaders and what kind of training do they need?
* How do I guide people toward community life?
* What are the pathways and events that move people to become part of a small group?
* What kinds of groups should we offer?
* How do you multiply groups and launch new groups?
* How do we define success in this ministry?

Work through the questions in each chapter, you'll find a coherent, strategic plan for building and leading the small group ministry at your church. And whether you are establishing a new ministry or rebuilding on an already existing but ineffective model, you'll benefit from the tried and tested wisdom of the authors. This workbook can be used as a stand-alone resource or with the five-session training videos taught by the authors. (DVDs available on the Equipping Life-Changing Small Groups DVD - sold separately).
