Leading small groups with purpose requires skills, strategies, and practical tools so that a leader knows exactly how to lead a small group. In Small Group Success, leadership principles and practical strategies are presented to make leaders more effective. Pastors and small group coordinators can use this book as a tool to train those leaders, either by simply having them listen to it, or by using the discussion questions at the end of each chapter.

You'll learn:

• The why, what, and how of effective small group leadership
• The four-core small group purposes and why they matter
• Practical steps for building Christian community in a small group
• How to lead an effective small group bible study and discussion
• Strategies for sharing and prayer for one another
• Tools for outreach and mission

From the foreword by Dr. Gene A. Getz, founder of the Fellowship Bible Church movement and author of more than 60 books, including the recently released Life Essentials Study Bible: "I'm delighted to see Brad Wright continuing this biblical emphasis, giving us contemporary and practical guidelines for creating and maintaining small groups. As you listen, you'll hear the voice of wisdom and experience."

Brad Wright holds a Masters of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. He has served as a full-time pastor and associate pastor but has spent most of his 35+ years of small group leadership and oversight experience as a layperson in the local church. This small group ministry experience as both pastor and layperson uniquely qualifies him to share insights in a way that others can easily grasp and use. Brad has been married since 1983 and has three adult children. He welcomes your comments and can be reached at www.smallgroupsuccess.com
