Discipleship Plan:
TBC's discipleship plan is God's work done God's way for God's glory.
Let me explain
God works in and through our large group meeting time, smaller groups, and individual relationships.
PROMOTION OF GROUPS AND ACTIVITIES:
I share the discipleship graphic above to show you there are a lot of things going on at Trinity. Regularly scheduled, very occasional, formal, informal, for everyone, for specific people.
As you request rooms, announcements, bulletin space, and other things,
please remember you are thinking about your specific time, but much more is happening.
- GENERAL ACTIVITIES and MINISTRIES
- I don't want to say Sunday announcements are a necessary evil. They are helpful, but we don't want the announcement time during the service to distract from what we are there to do: worship God together.
- It is always a good idea and necessary to put dates for church-building events on the church calendar.
- Handouts provide a place to share more information and have something to give as an invitation. I have used "bookmarks" and half sheets with dates and topics. Below are some small group examples. A schedule, especially for groups that meet every other week, is especially helpful. It helps group members know the schedule, and once again, it provides an invitation resource.
Here are some basic examples
- SMALL GROUP SPECIFIC:
- trinitybaptistgr.churchcenter.com/groups has the dates for your study. You can set up your group to send a reminder email days before your group is scheduled to meet.
- Invite opportunities—At the beginning of a study, review nights, and maybe even a social night or activity, provide opportunities for group members to invite people to connect with the group. A review night allows visitors to check out your group and see what it has been doing up to this point.
