Why Small Groups?
Small Groups with Purpose outlines the step-by-step process of creating a successful small group ministry.
Because it is built upon principles and not methods, this plan can be implemented in any size church.
Each chapter of the accompanying book includes a list of questions for readers to answer to help them assess their current situation and their desires for the future.
