Breaking the Isolation Epidemic-Vital Signs of a Healthy Groups Ministry

The Surgeon Generals' latest study states our country is in an epidemic of loneliness and isolation! Harvard's seventy-five-year study reveals lack of community is a greater health risk than smoking. It's no surprise, as right from the beginning, it was declared, "It is not good for man to be alone." We are created to be in community! Yet, if community is so important, then why do we find people not joining our groups or gaining the vision to step up and lead one? And how do we know they are effective when they do meet? If you'd like answer's to these questions, join North Coast Life Group Lead Pastor Dave Enns as he shares the five vital signs of healthy small groups and strategies to help your church build life-changing circles of community.
