Faith Forward w/ Greg Williams
Program Transcript
“I like the fresh expression of using the term connect group. Because it makes you think, ‘How is this going to be different than what we’ve done in the past?’. Because in the past…a lot of times when we would think about a small group, we would think the pastor is coming to give Bible Study with a group of 8 or 10 people. A connect group is not really about the pastor giving another Bible Study to a small group of people. In fact, I hope for a lot of our pastors they don’t really have to facilitate connect groups. I hope they can participate and be ministered to as well through their participation.”

Greg I really appreciate what you have encouraged us to all be involved in. I pray that the name change will be effective in helping those desiring to participate in healthy church activities grasp what these groups really are and dive in with spirit led enthusiasm. I’ve started 2 small groups and 2 faith talk groups (one of which now has evolved into a small group) and I participate in another and the connecting is total Joy. Thanks Brother!!!
