Churches across the world have had success with small-group campaigns that link the sermon with what small groups study during their meetings. But you don't need a specialized campaign to make sermon-based small groups work. In fact, you can offer great sermon-based small-group guides to your leaders year-round.
This Training Tool will show you how to take your pastor’s sermon notes and turn them into easy-to-use guides that can help your small-group leaders facilitate transformational discussions. And it’s easier than you might think.
