How are your small groups doing?

“Group Involvement Impacts People’s Daily Lives

As part of our research for Transformational Groups, we surveyed regular group attenders and non-group attenders about their daily spiritual lives—specifically, the time they spend outside of church and church-related activities. Here are some highlights as they concern spiritual disciplines:

  • 67% of regular group attenders read their Bible regularly versus only 27% among non-group members.
  • 64% of regular group attenders pray for their church and/or church leaders regularly. Only 30% of non-group attenders do.
  • 82% of group attenders pray for fellow Christians versus 54% of non-group attenders.
  • 79% of group attenders confess sins to God and ask forgiveness. 54% of non-group attenders do this.”

Check out the rest of this blog. Some really great thoughts here. I loved the idea about assessing your groups to see how they are actually doing

“Impactful groups require more than just attendance; they require a plan.”
