Is your small group busting at the seams? Do you need to make room for new members in your community? On the blog today, we're answering the question, 'What to do when your small group needs to multiply?' Head over there now for some practical tips!
After we have experienced genuine biblical community in a small group, the thought of anyone leaving that community is very hard. We want to keep what we are experiencing for as long as we can. But the mandate to continue making disciples is clear. The only way to make room for more people to start their personal discipleship journey is by creating new groups for them.
We see this critical change in the early church at Acts 6:7, “So the preaching about God flourished, the number of the disciples in Jerusalemgreatly, and a large group of priests became obedient to the faith.” They were experiencing exponential growth and had to change their systems and mind-set to best minister through that growth. Their addition had changed to multiplication.
This process will eventually lead to birthing a new group. The secondary leader can either step out of the current group to lead a new group for new people, or you can turn the leadership of the current group over to her as you step out to launch the new group. The latter scenario can set the secondary leader up for success quicker. She is already comfortable with the current group, and you will be more prepared than she to start over.
If you look at this passage closely, you see four generations of disciples represented. Paul is the first generation. He invested in the life of Timothy—that’s generation two. Then Timothy was to commit what he learned from Paul to faithful men—that’s our third generation. And the faithful men are meant to teach others also—generation number four.
