Most churches in America struggle to have a significant percentage of their adult attendance in small groups According to recent research done by Lifeway Research only "33 percent of churchgoers attend classes or groups for adults (such as Sunday school Bible study small groups or Adult Bible Fellowships) four or more times in a typical month Fourteen percent attend two or three times a month" Life transformation happens best within the context of community so if a church is going to be intentional about discipleship they have to develop on-ramps to small groups that reach people on the fringes & beyond If we continue to offer small groups to the normal church attenders a majority of the people who show up to church are never reached Pastors church staff & small group leaders are trying to figure out how to make small groups work in their church & they don't know how Small Groups For The Rest Of Us gives them practical proven strategies on moving people from the fringes into biblically based communities
