Q & A - Small Group Curriculum - Church Leader Insights

Q: I had a question regarding small group stuff. We observed that most of the subject matter of your small groups were book studies. There were a few actual studies on books of the Bible. What was it that guided your decision to lean in this direction?

A: We always use a book for our growth groups – you can do a Bible book but you need a book to help you approach the Bible and control the interpretation.

With the rate at which our small groups system raises up new group leaders, this provides a way to insure sound doctrine and helps to lighten the preparation load for the leader.

In case you missed it, I gave away our approved curriculum list a few months ago here on the blog:
