10 Things Small Group Leaders NEED to KNOW

1. Embrace God’s unconditional love. If you don’t “know that you know,” and you’re not at peace with your relationship with God and, more importantly, his relationship with you, you will not be able to love others unconditionally. Petition him to show you how much he loves you, and he will be happy to do it. He’s just that kind of Papa!

2. Maintain a clear and compelling personal vision for your group as a whole as well as the individual members of your group. This will help you make decisions when things get fuzzy and remind you of why you are doing what you’re doing when things get tough (and they will!).

3. Small group leadership is more about friendship than any other single component. If you invest in the lives of your members and invite them to invest in you, you’ll impact people in ways they will never forget.

4. You are not supposed to carry the weight of your group. Small group leaders need to know how to involve others in planning and execution in every aspect of the biblical community: meetings, outreach events, social activities, ministry time in the group, ministry and servanthood outside the meeting, etc.
