On this episode of Group Answers, Chris, Brian, and Brandon discuss how to launch your small group well in the new year.

The 6 “Don’t’s”:

1. Don’t assume everyone you ask will show up.
2. Don’t take the Bible study portion of the experience lightly.
3. Don’t be unintentional about when to launch and how much lead time to build in.
4. Don’t conclude that your winsome personality will be enough.
5. Don’t be flippant about the schedule.
6. Don’t create false expectations early in the group life.
