Small Group Leaders Resource List
September 19, 2010
Small Group Leaders:
Thank you for leading our families @ Greenbrier into a deeper relationship with God and one another. We had a tremendous response to Small Groups launch in early September. It is amazing to see God bring us to a place where we truly do life together.
I wanted to share with you several resources I have found useful over the years concerning small groups. If you have websites that you regularly use and think it would benefit the other small group leaders, please email me so I can update our resource list. Here’s my “go to” resource list:
SmallGroups.com
SmallGroupMinistry.com
SmallGroups.net
All of these sites have article after article on leadership, training, equipping members, and small group growth. I also receive weekly emails from these sites. These resources are excellent and would be beneficial to your development as a leader.
Also, there are several authors such as Bill Donahue, Andy Stanley, Henry Cloud, and M. Scott Boren that have excellent insights on building small groups that build community and make an impact in our world at the same time. Check these authors out at your local Christian bookstore.
Other resources used for leading your groups through the Bible are:
BibleStudyTools.com
BibleGateway.com
CrossWalk.com
I hope these are helpful to you. Let me know if you have resources you would like to add.
Be blessed!
Pastor Curtis

Small Groups Launch in September
August 21, 2010
It is that time of year! We will be launching our Small Groups @ Greenbrier over two Sundays, September 5th and 12th. Three out of four adults that attend Greenbrier Church join a small group each year. Small Groups are a place for our members and attendees to “plug in” to what God is doing in our midst. It says in Hebrews 10:25, “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Life is about relationships. At Greenbrier, we want to do life together. Being part of a network of good friends can provide one with the strength, confidence, and joy needed to carry out our personal and corporate callings in Christ. We all need to be in relationship and fellowship with God and each other.
Here’s the challenge: 1) check out all the small groups offered @ Greenbrier in the booklet provided on September 5th; 2) choose the top three small groups you’d like to attend; 3) come find out more about the groups on September 5th and 12th from 10:30 am to 11:00 am in the Fellowship Hall; 4) pick one, sign up, make new friends, and grow in your walk with God!
