For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
Think of one of your friends who also loves the Lord, and ask if they would be willing to co-host a group with you.
Talk with your co-host about scheduling to make sure it's a day and time that works best for you.
Decide where your group will meet: the church, a house, apartment or public space.
Contact Sloan Stephenson to talk about options.
Create a list with your co-host of people you would like to invite. Life Groups can consist of you and three friends This list can be people you know at church, co-workers, neighbors, and others you think would benefit from a Life Group.
Face-to-face invitations are always the most successful.
Don’t just assume an unanswered email means no. Emails often get placed in spam/junk folders by mistake.
You and your co-host should review the video, lesson, and discussion questions before your group meets.
If you using a video curriculum, test your television or electronic device to ensure the video will play.
Make sure to send reminders to those who have agreed to come. Send a reminder the day before and day of to remind and allow people to tell you if they are not able to make the meeting.
