Community: Taking Your Small Group Off Life Support
Brad HousePaperback 2011-09-07
Publisher Description
Community within the church today is haemorrhaging. Attention spans are dwindling, noise levels are increasing, and we can't seem to find time for real relationships.
The answer to such social fragmentation can be found in small groups, and yet the majority of small groups - at least in the traditional sense - are often not the intentional, transformational community we really want and need. Somehow we need to get our groups off life support and into authentic community.
Pastor Brad House helps us to re-imagine what gospel-centered community looks like and shares from his experience leading and reproducing healthy small groups. With wisdom and candor, House challenges us to think carefully about our own groups and to take steps toward cultivating communities that are able to glorify Jesus, bless one another, and participate in the mission of God.
"Community will inspire your small group leaders to grow and maintain healthy, Christ-centered and mission-minded groups. It will be a vital tool for your pastors, church leaders, and small group leaders."
- Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor, LifeChurch.tv; author, WEIRD: Because Normal Isn't Working.
