Why Church Leaders Should Know What’s Being Taught in Small Groups

Why Church Leaders Should Know What’s Being Taught in Small Groups

1. Alignment with leadership is vital.
2. Alignment with the church’s vision is critical.
3. Most groups follow a clear calendar.
4. Deviant doctrine can develop.
5. Some groups and leaders have a separate agenda.

Some highlights from today’s Rainer Report:

• Too many pastors don’t have a clue what is being taught in small groups.
• If what is being taught in small groups contradicts what’s being taught from the pulpit, it will cause conflict in the church.
• When a pastor doesn’t know what’s being taught in groups, deviant doctrine can develop in the church.
• Groups can be a powerful alignment force in the church.
