We have three issues to work through together for our groups:

1. We need to think from the outside in. We must relationally connect with those outside of the church.
2. Do less to see more. KBC’ers are already too busy, and need to be freed up.
3. More training and support. Group leaders need more support and training

As such I am suggesting we follow and adapt the model of most churches who reach the community and have healthy groups, in that we agree to meet less as groups and/or connect intentionally with non-christians regularly. Two workable options are:

1. Every second week the group members do connection activities rather than meet as a closed group.
2. Every four weeks they do connection activities. This also allows time for leaders to meet together for training etc. on one of those free nights per term.

What do you think, and what is your suggested solution to the three issues above? Please leave your thoughts and comments in the space below.

Thanks!
