Living Church Growth Groups:-
- Read the Bible together
- Pray
- Care for each other
- Are invested in each other’s maturity in Christ
As such – the following are resources or actions that we believe will enable a culture that facilitates the above.
Weekend Away | Encourage GG to get away annually – firstly over night, but if that isn’t possible – at least for a day |
Coach Catch-Ups | Aim for 2 face-to-face per year & then other contact during the year |
Agreements | Follow the outline provided in the Ministry Paper. Best documented in some way |
Regularity of meeting | Best weekly during school terms |
Size of group | Maximum 15 adults |
Training | All together once a term |
Have a communication method that functions between GG meetings | E.g. – WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger |
