1.What you call it. 2.When the groups meet. 3.Whether the pastor leads a group. 4.The specific line of curriculum.

1.The Attitude of Key Leaders. 2.The Leader Training Strategy. 3.The Orientation of the groups. (Outreach Oriented or Deeper Oriented?) 4.The Number of Leaders.

1.Elevate your groups. Elevate the purpose of the groups. 2. Begin weekday groups without dismantling Sunday morning. 3. Open the side doors. Groups that fellowship more reach more. 4. Focus on what WORKS.
