10 Building Blocks To Engineer A Dynamic Small Group Ministry

They emphasize first defining what success is for small group leaders, then aligning ministry structures to that outcome through leader training (for members, leaders, and coaches), providing practical tools (including individual and group health assessments and idea resources), and creating a strategic curriculum pathway that addresses weaknesses rather than simply filling time. They also highlight collecting both hard and soft data to support relational shepherding, building a scalable coaching/community-leader structure (often volunteer-based), and defining a group maturity pathway from early fellowship to balanced engagement with the Great Commission/Great Commandment. Finally, they outline three connection strategies—adult Sunday school alignment, a connection strategy when a pastor isn’t fully on board, and church-wide campaigns when leadership is aligned—encouraging leaders to regularly reassess and shore up guardrails using the show-notes diagram and related books.</p><p>00:00 Welcome to SG Squared<br>01:22 Why Summer Is Ideal<br>04:16 Building Block One Success<br>06:52 Building Block Two Training<br>09:37 Building Block Three Tools<br>12:52 Building Block Four Curriculum<br>15:44 Building Block Five Data<br>18:41 Building Block Six Coaches<br>21:48 Building Block Seven Pathway<br>24:30 Building Blocks Eight To Ten<br>29:42 Final Encouragement Outro</p> <strong> <a href="https://saddleback.com/give/add?v2glid=82505" rel="payment" title="★ Support this podcast ★">★ Support this podcast ★</a> </strong>
