How To Choose Your Next Study
Use the three Ps to choose the best study for your group:
-
Parameters: How often do you meet? How much time does the group really have to complete the work? Don't choose a 12-week study if you only have four weeks until the end of a semester or the holidays. Likewise, don't choose a study with several hours of prep time if the group knows it won't be able to commit.
-
People: Where is the majority of the group spiritually? Where are people struggling to understand? How can you challenge the group to grow?
-
Purpose: What are one or two topics everyone is interested in learning? Is it how to be better parents? How to improve relationships? How to study a particular book of the Bible? Have the group e-mail a few ideas to you in order of interest and you determine what comes to the top. It's okay to have more than one purpose among the group. This just means whichever purpose is not chosen this time around can be the automatic default for the next group study.
