Small groups are a great way to promote the spiritual formation of church attendees. But leading them well can be hard work, especially if you don't have a plan.\u00a0This practical resource helps pastors and small group point people develop and implement a 12- to 18-month strategic plan for their ministries in order to keep it healthy and growing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

God declared through the Apostle Paul that the church would be a place of transformation. In 2 Corinthians 5:17 we find, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come<\/i>. Despite this, the church seems increasingly to be a place where transformation fails to occur.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Think like a missionary. Forget about what God is doing in other churches.
