Ministry Insights -:- Small Groups

Building Intimacy in Your Small Group

Building small group intimacy requires establishing a foundation of commitment, honesty, acceptance and trust. Developing these four critical areas in your small group early can spell the difference between intimacy and isolation. This foundation can be set by understanding your strengths and appreciating the differences in others. Establish this foundation first, so that you are equipped for whatever journey your group pursues, whether it is Bible study, service projects, or fellowship.

Leading From Your Strengths 2: Building Intimacy in Groups

Being part of a small group can be a bit like climbing a mountain—it has risks but the payoff is immense. That is why this second book in the Leading From Your Strengths series compares the journey of building intimacy in your small group to that of a mountain climbing expedition.

Just like climbing Mount Everest, climbing the mountain to intimacy in your small group involves five stages, or camps. You begin at your “base camp” commitment, and then move through the various stages of honesty, acceptance, closeness, and finally reach the mountain’s peak of intimacy. The Ministry Insights team will be your expedition guide on your climb as you learn to leverage your strengths for effective and successful small group experiences.

This book should be read by every small group member that desires intimacy in their small group and is an excellent resource for small group study.
