To maintain momentum, it's best if the leadership strategically selects a core curriculum for the next series. If you don't direct your small group leaders on what's next, they generally won't proceed with the next study in a timely matter. Give them direction.

After completing 40 Days, small group leaders typically descend on Christian bookstores. Often, they pick curriculum that is more in-depth or extensive than the group should be studying, and then the group doesn't follow through. Perhaps it's too long, or maybe it doesn't stick with the fundamentals. The key is to keep them in 6-weeks segments, which leadership pre-selects, until the group establishes itself.
