It is our desire at Open Door Ministries to connect every person who attends our Sunday morning services to a Life Group. We believe this is the maturity tract, which the first church in Acts chapter two modeled for us.
We have agreed on six irreducible minimums for healthy Life Groups. So for our Life Group leaders...this is how you define what a healthy Life Group is.
- Think Life Change – Create an environment where participants experience authentic community and spiritual growth.
- Cultivate Relationships – Relationships are like bank accounts they don’t just happen they require regular intentional deposits.
- Promote Participation – Be a navigator of discussion, not just a teacher of curriculum. Asking open ending questions invites participation. More than sharing right answers, we want people to share their lives
- Replace Yourself – Choose an apprentice within the first six months and prepare for multiplication at the end of the covenant period of 18 to 24 months.
- Provide Care - Support. Encourage. Comfort
- Multiply Influence – By multiplying your life group every 18-24 months, within six years over 300 people will have been influenced by your life group ministry.
