Small Groups Promotion System
System Owner: Rebecca Allen & Gisela Rivera
The system owner will be responsible for coordinating small group terms, making curriculum available to leaders, establishing group leaders, setting up small groups on Planning Center-Groups, and promoting small groups for maximum participation and growth.
Purpose/Scope:
Small Groups are about doing life together and meeting weekly for prayer, discussion or activity, and encouragement. Our main goal will be to experience God together in our daily lives. We want to be able to experience real community with fellow believers and reach the lost.
Procedure:
Terms: Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
1. Promotions: (Start One month before) A big part of ensuring the success of the small group system is to promote within the church as well as on social media platforms.
2. Engage the creative team and pastor in gaining quality material that will ignite and spark interest in the new term. Ensure all content is approved by the Pastor and given to the creative team to announce. Also, continually advocate for members to invite non-members to Small Groups. This could be family, friends, neighbors, or acquaintances.
3. Follow-up (2 weeks before term start): After signups and promotions have started follow up by searching the Planning Center to see who has signed up and who still needs to join. Create a spreadsheet and delegate leaders to contact members who have not yet joined. Ensure facilitators are making personal contact, a quick phone call or visit is best. It is important to match potential Small Group members to the most accommodating group (schedule and location) but also the one that would “fit” best.
Acknowledge:
This system has been reviewed with me and I have had an opportunity to ask questions and discuss pertinent details. I understand my role on the team.
