Small Groups

Research Project—The topic of my Doctoral Research project was small groups.  More precisely it focused on developing and implementing a small group ministry that reflected the five-fold mission statement of the church.

Facilitator Training—Developed and taught a Facilitator Workshop to train local church members in facilitating and in leading a discussion group.  Incorporated the workshop into the Introduction to Christian Education class at Michigan Theological Seminary (now called Moody Theological Seminary).  The class required a "Lab" for hands-on learning.  The Lab experience required each student to facilitate a small group discussion with the members of the class.  That was followed by an analysis of the small group discussion to evaluate the effectiveness as an educational process.

Leadership Training--Developed and taught Leadership Training for the Small Church.  This is a six-part training course to equip new and novice believers in becoming mature leaders to serve in the church.
