In A Place to Belong: Small Group Involvement In Religious Congregations, Professors Kevin Dougherty and Andrew Whitehead analyze national data on the impact of those involved in small groups.

 

In their conclusion, they state, “National data from over 78000 U.S. worshippers in over 400 congregations reveal that individuals involved in prayer, discussion, or Bible study groups have higher rates of commitment and participation than those not involved in a small group. Small group members report a greater sense of belonging, attend services more frequently, and contribute a higher percentage of their income to their congregation. These findings are consistent and robust.”

 

Because of its importance, churches place a high value on small groups. But, when you dive deep, many churches are unsatisfied with how many people are involved in their small groups.

 

I’ve had the privilege to help over 700 churches grow their small groups by 40% or more. For example, one church that had only 15% of people (according to their average weekly worship attendance) involved in small groups jumped to 64% of people in small groups. For those doing the math, that’s a 426% increase!
