A small group consists of between
8 and 12 members. You are able to choose how your group gets
formed—your church can either assign people to your group or you can
just invite them yourself! Here are what your options look like:
A. Friends of the Host: You may fill your group
with people you know from your church or with your spiritually seeking
friends who do not attend.
B. Friends of the Church: Your
small group ministry team or person will automatically assign church
people who sign up for your time and type of group unless you inform
the team that your group is filled with those you have personally
invited.
C. Friends of Friends: Friends of Friends
are another primary way a Host may fill their groups. One couple knows
another couple and they know about 10 other people, the rest is history.
