  1. Reversing the Erosion of Sunday Morning Bible Study Things that matter, things that don’t, and how to turn it around Dr. Steve R. Parr

  2. You Know it is Functioning Properly • …If THE LOST ARE BEING REACHED • …If LIVES ARE BEING CHANGED • …If LEADERS ARE BEING SENT

  3. The Simplest Metric for Evaluation How do the number of groups that you have compare to the number of baptisms?

  4. All 6 Key Strategies Apply • Praying for the lost • Proclamation of the gospel • Personal Evangelism Training • Servant Evangelism • Event Evangelism • Team Evangelism

  5. The Most Common Mistake The assumption that groups will function properly on auto-pilot…

  6. Things That Matter Less Than You Think • What you call it. • When the groups meet. • Whether the pastor leads a group. • The specific line of curriculum.

  7. Things That Matter More Than You Think • The Attitude of Key Leaders. • The Leader Training Strategy. • The Orientation of the groups. (Outreach Oriented or Deeper Oriented?) • The Number of Leaders.

  8. Want to turn it outward? • Elevate your groups. Elevate the purpose of the groups. 2. Begin weekday groups without dismantling Sunday morning. 3. Open the side doors. Groups that fellowship more reach more. 4. Focus on what WORKS.

  9. W.O.R.K.S. Wants to grow Organizes to grow Reaches out to the unchurched Keeps the members connected Sharpens the skills of the leaders
