LISTEN TO THE EPISODE ABOVE
Summary:
In this episode Cynthia shares some of the considerations for deciding the size of a Discovery group or a House church.
Key Points from this episode:
- Don’t let the group get too big for everyone to be able to learn/repeat the story and participate well.
- Some people lock the group at 8 people. It’s not a rule but a guideline to consider.
- Generally speaking, don’t add new people to an existing group unless they already know others in the group and are part of the oikos
- Disciple Making Movements generally spread through relational networks that already exist.
- A mid-sized house church for the purpose of celebration and fellowship can have several discovery groups meeting together once a month. That maybe up to 30 or 40 people. But in the primary disciple-making group they shouldn’t be too large.
- If the size is getting big enough that you are considering renting a hall or moving it back to a church building then its too big. Split the group or multiply it.
