Every church wants to build a strong groups ministry. Whether you do groups at home, at church or whether you call them small groups, community groups or ABFs does not matter. The keys to a solid groups ministry can be tough to keep in place. Small churches and large one struggle to consider, “How do we get more folks involved? How do know biblical truth is being taught? How can we make sure they are caring for everyone’s needs in their group?” These questions open other questions like, “What is the goal of a group? What is our target for a disciple?”
