The first words of the Bible are “in the beginning God created…” Beginning Life Together is the first study of the Doing Life Together series for adults which is designed to help you live the purpose-driven life through being part of a purpose-driven small group. These groups seek to help each member balance the five biblical purposes of the church talked about in Rick Warren’s best-selling Purpose Driven Life. This six-week introduction to the purposes will help you to not only understand but also experience them. In addition to study and discussion questions there are icebreakers, study notes, directions for prayer and worship, and texts listed for further study.
For more than a dozen years, Brett Eastman has been building small group ministries at Willow Creek Community Church, Saddleback Church, and other churches, like the Crystal Cathedral in Southern California and the Community Church of Joy in Glendale, Arizona. The passion that drove him to help place more than 50,000 people with the help of more than 5,000 leaders in healthy, growing small groups is now compelling him to reach out to churches of all sizes, stages, and denominational backgrounds. The response has been astonishing.
However, more than 90 percent of churches struggle with their small group ministry. The greatest growth is still ahead.
Brett Eastman and the folks at Lifetogether want not only to connect your church in community; they want to help you transform your community through community. That happens through a healthy small group ministry. No matter what your church size, you can benefit from the practical help offered by this web site.
Lifetogether is committed not only to help you start a small group ministry but to help you sustain one for the long haul. Sometimes small group ministry is confusing. It’s nice to know that you don’t have to do it alone but that you can have help on your journey. We can do it together.
