Six Ways to Improve Your Balance as a Group Leader Leading a
successful small group is like walking a tightrope. You traverse a
taut, exciting line, balancing the dynamic tensions characteristic
of every group. Drawing from the concept of "polarity management,"
Bill Donahue and Russ Robinson help you understand and deal with
six dynamic areas every group leader must manage in order to create
genuine, transforming small group community. Your group is in for
unprecedented connection and growth when you harness the interplay
between * Truth and Life * Care and Discipleship * Friendship and
Accountability * Kindness and Confrontation * Task and People *
Openness and Intimacy Effective, life-giving small groups learn how
to embrace both ends of each continuum. Walking the Small Group
Tightrope will strengthen your sense of balance, help you gain
confidence as a leader, and show you how to release the untapped
creative and relational energy in your group.
Our hearts were made for deep, authentic relationships---for
community with others. And like nothing else, small groups provide
the kind of life-giving community that builds and empowers the body
of Christ and impacts the world. In this book, part of the Groups
That Grow series of small group resources, authors Bill Donahue and
Russ Robinson provide guidance for the strategic decisions that
must be made to establish, develop and grow a thriving small group
ministry in the local church. In Building a Life-Changing Small
Group Ministry, they answer questions like: * Which approach or
model for small group ministry is best for my church? * Who has
responsibility for the ministry and how are they supported? * How
do I organize the groups and coach the leaders? * Where do I find
leaders and what kind of training do they need? * How do I guide
people toward community life? What are the pathways and events that
move people to become part of a small group? * What kinds of groups
should we offer? * How do you multiply groups and launch new
groups? * How do we define success in this ministry? As you work
through the questions in each chapter you ll develop a coherent,
strategic plan for building and leading the small group ministry at
your church. And whether you are establishing a new ministry or
transitioning from older models of small group ministry that are no
longer effective today, you ll benefit from the time-tested wisdom
of the authors. This workbook can be used as a stand-alone resource
or it can be used with the five-session training videos taught by
the authors available on the Equipping Life-Changing Small Groups
DVD (sold separately)."
