DC Orange Tour Stop Highlights: Small Groups

26Oct/120

God created us for community..Jesus illustrated community...the church practiced community

1. Be present - connect their faith to a community

2. Create a safe place - clarify their faith as they grow

Lead the group, Respect the process (God is in charge! You may not see the fruit). Guard the heart

3. Partner with Parents - Nurture an everyday faith

Cue the parent, Honor the parent, Reinforce the family
How the parents perceive the church could be how they and their child perceive you

4. Make it personal - inspire their faith by your example

5. Move them out- engage their faith In a bigger story

Goal is for them to own their own faith. You have to connect them to others beyond you.
Move them to someone else, Move them to be the church, move them to what's next
You should start packing a students bags the day he or she shows up

The goal isn't to keep them. The goal is to launch them
