For many people, joining a small group is like diving headfirst into murky water—we don't know what to expect. What will the group meetings be like? Will I have to share all of my deepest, darkest secrets? What should I do with my kids? Will I have to pray out loud? Or share an amazing theological discovery?
The "Small-Group Member Orientation Guide" is a great way to answer such questions and clear the water. With content from small-group veterans like Randall Neighbor, Reid Smith, Pat J. Sikora, and others, this resource will help new and potential group members learn what to expect from small-group life—and what will be expected from them. This resource is also a great way to make sure that veteran group members are making the most of their time in community life.
