We are created to live in community, and we'll never reap the benefits if we're unwilling to trust those around us. If we desire our small groups to be places of transformation, we must make building trust a priority. We can't expect group members to walk in on the first night and experience a deep trust for the other group members. We can, however, expect trust to grow over time. These eight assessments will help you determine how trusting your group is. It will also give you an idea of your next steps in building trust.
