Go Big with Small Groups

Most churches that begin small groups find that within a couple of years two things happen
- the number of small groups has dwindled in size and few if any of them have birthed other
small groups. So, the only way most churches keep small groups going is by reinventing them over
and over, usually with the same people. The authors of this book know God has much more in store
for these churches. 

Bill Easum and John Atkinson have both led
congregations in which small group ministry proved crucial to the church’s growth. Both know the
pitfalls that endanger all attempts to center a congregation’s life around small groups. More
importantly, they understand how to make small groups growing, self-reproducing centers of
Christian discipleship.
