Interested in doing your own small group?:

Here are a few tips to start:

1) You only need 2 people to start. You and someone else! People desire community and deeper relationships, if they think the group will have structure, you would be surprised how many will want to participate. 2 works, shoot for 6 to 10.

2) You need a good place to meet. I recommend meeting rooms at libraries and community centers. Get out of your home and avoid Starbucks. Make it something official and purposeful. You’ll be more likely to follow through.

3) Set a time limit and stick to it. I recommend 60 to 90 minutes. Less than that little gets done, more than that the amount of time can seem too daunting for people to attend regularly.

4) Meet once a week to once a month. I recommend once a week. If someone misses they won’t feel out of the loop as they’ve only missed a week. Take weeks off periodically for a group break.

5) Start with a small group workbook or book that encourages goal setting and purpose building so you can identify the needs of those in your group. Of course, I recommend The Ladder UPP! And if you use that, I’ll supply free videos and small group advice!

6) Set up a date for the first meeting and dive in. Life is waiting to be lived!
