"What will our groups study?" This is a common
question in groups ministry and one
that is critically important in shaping the dynamics and
discipleship process of a
group. The sermon based model has been
increasingly popular over the past decade
and can be a valuable tool to helping groups get into Scripture
with one another
in practical, life-changing ways. In this conversation with Dave
Ennes, we unpack
the what, why, and how of the sermon-based model.
Dave has been on staff at North Coast Church (the Sticky
Church) since 1990 and is the lead pastor of their Small
Groups Ministry. He oversees a team of 25 staff, 1,500 lay
leaders and over 7,000 who attend their home groups. Under
Dave’s leadership, North Coast remains well-known for
maintaining over 80% adult participation in weekly home
groups. He has also played an integral role in
helping North Coast grow from 700 to now over 12,000 weekend
attendees. Given Dave’s decades of experience, his coaching
and training has been valuable for
small group leaders and veteran ministry leaders around the
country, no matter the
size or type of ministry. Host Carolyn Taketa asks Dave the
following questions and more in this exclusive interview!
