Develop a Discipleship System
Online Small Groups Webinar
By Scott Hughes
DATE: January 12, 2021
TIME: 11 a.m. CST
PANELISTS: Scott Hughes, Dr. Angela Schaffner, Allen White
During the last ten months, small groups have had to adapt. Some small groups started meeting through videoconference, some found ways to meet through physical distancing, and sadly, some stopped meeting altogether. What some churches have found during this time is that even following the COVID-19 crisis, there will be an ongoing need for the use of online small groups. The question is how do we do online small group ministry well? Join the panel of Scott Hughes, Angela Schaffner, and Allen White as they discuss ways to start and improve online small group ministry.
Two weeks after the live webinar (which will be recorded), there will be a follow-up Zoom session on Tuesday, January 26, to share learnings and interact with other participants. Click here to register.
