ABOUT THE BOOK
If you are a small group leader of adults (or you’re thinking about becoming one), you’re the hero of the church. You have the courage to focus on a small community of people and make a difference one discussion, one lesson, and one group meeting at time. You are following the last command Jesus gave His followers: Go make disciples and change the world.
It’s a big challenge to which Jesus offered a “small” solution: The power of community, or leveraging the place where we live. What we call leading small.
In Big Change, Small Groups, Heather Zempel explores the four primary tasks every small group leader of adults needs to know. She takes what can be an overwhelming role and boils it down to its essence in this practical, and inspiring, how-to guide.
