Activate: Rethinking Small-Group Strategy
By jason | June 3, 2008
Big Idea #7: Think Easy…Not Hard
Conventional Wisdom: People are willing to go through a multiple-step process to join a small group.
Reality: One-step sign-ups, which make getting into a group faster, easier and less intimidating, will greatly increase the number of people who decide to join a group.
Big Idea #8: Think Ahead…Not Behind
Conventional Wisdom: Thinking about upcoming small groups a month out gives you plenty of time to plan and prepare.
Reality: For groups to be successful, you need to start planning and preparing three to four months in advance of their start date.
Big Idea #9: Think Full Staff Participation…Not Staff Specialist
Conventional Wisdom: Have a small-group specialist on staff who runs the system so that no one else has to worry about it.
Reality: Every person on staff needs to have a part in small groups, especially the lead pastor.
