The Small Group and the Vine (Workbook): Foundational Training For Group Leaders

Gathering Christians in Bible studies/small groups/intentional missional communities (or whatever you call them) is a cornerstone of church life. But what is the goal of this ministry? Is it about community? Is it about information? Is it about serving?

The Small Group and the Vine connects the purpose of Bible study groups to God's purpose. He is transferring people from the domain of darkness into the kingdom of Jesus and maturing them to be more like Jesus (Colossians 1). That's what small groups are for.

And don't miss the helpful appendices in the back, including ""How to be in a growth group""/

While this course has been designed with leaders in mind, it's also worth doing for group members to help keep small group ministry focused on nurturing the vine, not just propping up trellises.
