    Product Description

    With this comprehensive guide to raising the game for your small group ministry, Steve Gladen’s ‘Leading Small Groups with Purpose’ gives you the essential theory of small group dynamics and an intensely practical next steps guide. Whether your group has just started or has been together for a long time, Steve’s honesty and humour gives you the benefit of his hard earned experience with 5,000 small groups in his 30 years at Saddleback Church.

    Speaking to the heart of small group leaders, Steve integrates the biblical purpose with the direction of the group pointing you toward the best tools available and resources to start, build, grow and lead your group into its real, faith directed purpose.

    • Part One helps the small group leader understand his or her role, approach leadership with understanding and flexibility, and know what is needed for healthy small groups.
    • Part Two considers the five purposes of fellowship, discipleship, ministry, evangelism and worship, and the importance and necessity of living out each purpose in your group.
    • Part Three is a helpful and practical look at the common obstacles and opportunities that impact on the health, growth and purpose of your small group.

    Even if your church or ministry has a framework different from Gladen’s Saddleback model, you as a small group leader will find a lot of useful information, guidance, support and reassurance in this book.

    For the new small group leader, the seasoned leader who feels their small group lacks purpose, or the leader who is working to move their small group to the next level, Leading Small Groups with Purpose is the road map to follow. Steve Gladen takes small group leaders step-by-step toward a healthy, dynamic group with focus and purpose. Every chapter includes ideas that small group leaders can implement immediately as well as ways to shape their small groups over time. Includes a foreword by John Ortberg.

    Steve Gladen has been pastor of small groups at Saddleback Church since 1998. He oversees more than 3,500 adult small groups at Saddleback and loves seeing a big church become small through true community developed in group life. He is the author of Small Groups with Purpose and the coauthor of 250 Big Ideas for Purpose Driven Small Groups, Building Healthy Small Groups in Your Church, and Don't Lead Alone. Steve and Lisa have been married since 1989. They and their two children, Erika and Ethan, live in Orange County, California.
