A worksheet to help small group leaders and their teams start a group on a strong footing.
Key Points:
- The first box helps you identify who the members of your team will be. They might be co-leaders from the start or people you will ask to help with the intention of developing them into co-leaders. Don’t launch without a team!
- The second box helps you nail down the practical details of your new group’s meeting schedule. Determine this with your team so you can make a clear invitation.
- The third box on the left defines your invitation strategy.
- The fourth box, on the right, helps you think about what curriculum to use as the group begins.
