The Twelve Laws of Building a Healthy Growing Ministry The Law of Community

Growing churches decentralize pastoral care and discipleship through the empowering and ongoing multiplication of holistic small groups. These small groups are characterized by other- centered, sacrificial, life-on-life relationships that challenge and encourage Christians towards Christ-likeness, evangelism, biblical literacy and acts of service.

I. Objective of this Session

To help us as pastors effectively shepherd our flocks through the formation and multiplication of small groups.

John 13:12-17 (NIV)
