Connect with your small group director. 
They provide you with covering, encouragement, and coaching when needed.

Pick a Meeting Place
Determine an appropriate location for your group. Keep in mind privacy, noise level, and cleanliness.
Don’t assume this has to be in your home! Local restaurants and coffee shops are often excellent neutral locations.

Set the Meeting Schedule
Determine when your group will meet and establish the length of your meetings.
 Be sure to update your list of upcoming group meetings on the website so your group members will be aware of upcoming or canceled meetings.

Determine Your Group Focus
Some groups focus on activities or common interests while others choose to read through a book of the Bible together or review the Sunday’s sermon.
 Many groups use published materials to learn and grow. You can visit the Pentecostal Publishing House website for materials for your group.

Be Responsive
Please respond to people who are interested in your group within 72 hours.
This communicates value and excellence as you are a representative of GFAC.

Make it Easy for People
Think about who you are hoping to reach through your group and identify ways you can show hospitality.
Also think about possible barriers for that particular group of people. For example, will they need to get child care?

Plan for Fun!
Don’t forget to plan for fun in your group to help enhance relationships.
You could plan an activity at a new location, host a holiday party, celebrate each other’s birthdays, or host a game night!
