Small Groups

Whether you call them “Small Groups,” “Life Groups,” or whatever else, these gatherings are the foundation of discipleship. If you have questions about these resources or ideas to share, or would like assistance getting a small group discipleship ministry started at your church, please contact Charlette Preslar.

This new resource from the Episcopal Church was created to help congregations start new small group ministries or to help guide existing small groups (vestry, bible study, youth group, etc.) into intentional discipleship groups. This document gives you everything you need (and more!) to begin a powerful ministry of discipleship in your church. If you would like additional assistance, training or advisement on starting a new small group ministry, please contact Charlette Preslar.
