Small Group Structure

Each small group is comprised of one Group Leader along with the participants. The Bible tells us that "Iron sharpens Iron" and therefore the groups are based on relationships in which there is discussion between the participants. With this in mind the groups should not be too large nor should they be too small. Also, each Group Leader must first complete workbook one of the curriculum before becoming a Group Leader. 

Each member of the group will purchase a copy of workbook one of the ALL IN curriculum. In addition the Group Leader will have access to extra media content for each module which helps the group leader learn how to facilitate each group meeting.     

​The meeting schedule and meeting frequency is flexible and based on the needs of each individual group. The Group Minister will help each Group Leader to develop this schedule and plan. 

​

Before The Group Meetings Start

​Prior to each small group meeting, the participants will have a time to prepare their hearts for what they will experience. The Group Leader will give them questions and sometimes content for reflection prior to coming to the small group meeting. This allows the participants to have the opportunity to prepare themselves spiritually, mentally, and emotionally for the  small group meeting.

What Happens at The Group Meetings

When the small group meeting begins, the Group Leader will first open up by allowing participants to share what they experienced during their heart prep prior to the meeting. 

After the heart prep portion is complete, the Group Leader will then begin the lesson for the meeting. Each lesson is designed to build upon the heart preparation and reveal more to each person about their identity in Christ. It will also help to guide them as they continue their transformation to become more like Christ. 

During the lesson, the Group Leader will include discussion within the group. The members will share their thoughts and questions about the lesson.. 

The final portion of the small group meetings will include a section about application. In this section the Group Leader will talk about how the participants cannot just learn the content that was presented, but how they can truly apply what they have learned in their lives. The Group Leader will also present the participants with an activity that they are to work on before the next small group meeting as well as a question for reflection. The activity and the question will help the participants learn to apply what they have learned.

After The Group Meetings End

​​After the small group meeting comes to an end, the participants will begin their "homework". They will work on the activity that was given by the Group Leader and will also consider the question for reflection. These things will help them deeply seek the Lord and know His heart. In addition to working on the activity and question for reflection, they will also begin the heart preparation work for the next small group meeting.
