Synopsis
Many churches that begin small groups find that two things often happen within about two years--the number of small groups dwindles in size and few, if any, of them have birthed other small groups. Often, the only way most churches keep small groups going is by reinventing them over and over, usually, with the same people. Having both led congregations that thrived on small-group ministry, Easum and Atkinson know the pitfalls that endanger 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.
