Doing Small Groups Better

October 14th, 2008 No comments

How does your church do “small groups”?

My experiences have ranged from great to terrible. And in the process I’ve discovered some core principles that make the “ecclesiola in ecclesia” better. Props to MissioLux Covenant Church for the “missio groups” parlance. I hope Tamara doesn’t mind if we borrow it cuz it makes a whole lotta sense. And from a historical perspective the idea of small groups is nothing novel. It goes back to the Wesleyan Methodists, back to the German pietists, and even further back to the Catholic Reformation groups like the Brethren of the Common Life. So as I gather my thoughts together on how to improve our “missio groups”, I ask you; how were your “small group” experiences positive or found lacking? How would you have “done” it better?
