What Needs to Happen to Make Small Groups More Missional?
Question: Where is the focus of your current small groups?
BIBLE STUDY SOCIAL OR SERVICE
What Needs to Happen to Make Small Groups More
Missional? THE 3 SHIFTS
Shift #1: Creatively Communicating the Gospel • "THE BIBLE SAYS..." DOESN'T CARRY THE SAME AUTHORITY • GROUP TIME SHOULD BE A PRODUCT OF BIBLE STUDY • GROWTH COMES FROM SHARING THE GOOD NEWS WITH PEOPLE
Shift #2: Incarnationally Invitational
• CHURCH NO LONGER HAS THE MARKET CORNERED IN COMMUNITY • INVITATION OVERLOAD CREATES WHITE NOISE • GROWTH COMES FROM BEING THE GOOD NEWS WHERE PEOPLE ARE
True or False? OUR SMALL GROUPS ARE IN LINE WITH THE MISSION OR PURPOSE OF OUR CHURCH.
Shift #3: Mission Team
•WE ARE GOD'S MISSION TEAM •MILLENNIALS WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD •GROWTH COMES FROM BRINGING THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO PEOPLE
“If you start with community you may or may not get mission; if you start with mission you will always get community.” --Mike Breen
