Engel scale rating Aimed at people who are further along in their faith journey **Small Groups: Big Mission** seeks to take the concept of a small group and radically shake it up. Small groups that use Small Groups: Big Mission as the basis for their vision and values will see invitation, growth, tension, discomfort, and salvations. This resource seeks to equip and encourage not just your small group leaders, but your entire small group to be a place where newcomers can come and explore. Through practical suggestions and spiritual foundations, Small Groups: Big Mission is a guide for people who want to give an excitingly organic and real method of Church growth a try. If you’re starting a new group, we recommend determining your vision and values from the outset. Small Groups: Big Mission will help you do that by providing a framework for a group that truly desires to see people meet Jesus for the first time.
