Model for Community of Believers:

“All who believed were together...Attending temple together and breaking bread in their homes.” (Acts 2:44, 46)

The Solution:

        “Life change happens best in small groups.”

Change =>growth = good

No growth = stagnation => death

The Problem:

        “I don’t need another thing to do in my busy life.”

        “Even if I had time, the groups are just too far.”

“Plus I’m not comfortable with other people (introverted).”

Myths:

    More time = more belonging

More proximity = more belonging

More personality = more belonging
