SMALL GROUP LEADER BEST PRACTICES

THE Gospel
The commandment to share the Gospel with a world that is far from God is the most essential calling in our lives. Because this calling is of first importance, we should strive to be focused so that the lost understand what God has done for them. Relatable so that those who don’t believe will realize their need for Him. Clear so that those who are far from God will put their faith in Jesus.
6th-7th Grade: Not feelin it
How I feel is not my God. Just because we feel a certain way does not mean that emotion is from God, or acting on that emotion is God-honoring. Instead, we take hold of every thought and submit that thought or emotion to God.

8th-9th Grade: Belief
Many view doctrine as something that is only important for pastors. Nothing could be further from the truth. What we believe matters. This is why Paul told young Timothy to watch his doctrine closely (1 Tim 4:16)
10th-12th Grade: WE ARE THE CHURCH
It is commonly said that students (teenagers) are the future of the church. This is wrong. Students are the current church. They are a part of the body of Christ (the Ekklesia). In this series, we are going to discuss what it means to be a part of the local church.
