Small groups should always be considered as part of the central foundation that facilitates discipleship and spiritual growth of individuals in a dynamically growing church. In whatever form they take—such as a Bible study, a discipleship group, or a house church— they are the basis for healthy church growth. Small groups also guarantee the survival of churches in times of persecution.

This course will explore various small group models and also consider various leadership principles, which lead to healthy leadership and also multiplication of small groups.
