Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five keys to building a small group culture that fosters meaningful, lasting connections within your church community. Small groups are the key to impacting lives in your church. But a healthy small-group environment doesn’t just happen. So pull up a chair. Let’s talk about how to make it happen. Bill Willits and bestselling author Andy Stanley share their successful approach, which has resulted in nearly eight thousand adults becoming involved in small groups at North Point Community Church in Atlanta. Simply put, the five principles have passed the test. This is not just another book about community; this is a book about strategy—strategy that builds a small group culture. Creating Community shares clear and simple principles to help people connect into meaningful relationships. The kind that God desires for each of us and that He uses to change our lives. Put this proven method to work in your ministry and enjoy the tangible results—God’s people doing life TOGETHER. “The small-group program at North Point Community Church is not an appendage; it is not a program we tacked on to an existing structure. It is part of our lifestyle. We think groups. We organize groups. We are driven by groups. Creating Community contains our blueprint for success. And I believe it has the potential power to revolutionize your own small-group ministry!” — Andy Stanley

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small groups are a growing phenomenon in the United States both within and outside the churches. People in these groups are searching for community and spirituality and finding new life. Powerful and effective as these groups are they often fall short of the biblical ideal of "koinonia". The early church grew and prospered because their communities were small and their "communion" and their spirituality werc strong and deep. Catholic parishes today have grown large and impersonal, often lacking in the depth of their community, spirituality and commitment. Is it possible to take advantage of this modern small group phenomenon, expanding and deepening it, and thus revitalizing parish life and ministry, by making the parish into a community of small communities and recapturing some of the vigor of the early church? This thesis attempts to show that, with appropriate adaptations, the "Renew Process" was successful in the Diocese of Las Cruces, New Mexico, in creating vibrant faith communities in the parishes there through the introduction of the small Christian community concept while at the same time avoiding some of the shortcomings of the current small group phenomenon in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly every church is trying to help their congregants build relationships with others, grow as disciples, and/or engage in meaningful service through small groups. Many have argued that these small groups are the preferred vehicle for relationship building, disciple making, and membership assimilation in the local church, especially in large, multisite churches. Leading Small Groups That Thrive shows small group leaders, step by step, how to plan for, launch, build, sustain, and multiply highly effective, transformational, healthy small group experiences where people grow spiritually together. Based on a large-scale research study of small group pastors, leaders, and members, Leading Small Groups That Thrive gives church leaders both what they want--practical, straightforward, actual small group member voices and experiences, and compelling guidance on how to build transformational groups complemented with real-life examples and data of successful small groups--and what they need--substantial, challenging insights and a data-driven model grounded in the latest research on church small groups.
