It is a place where men are free to be spiritual. It is a place where men can worship and pray together. It is a place where men can discover their spiritual gifts in order to serve others. Just as in a baseball game where the team moves from first base to home base in the diamond. The small group experience can be described in what we call the relational diamond.
Men begin to accept one another.
The goal at this level is trusting on another. At this level you need to identify the group's purpose or design. How much emphasis will the group place on supporting one another. How much emphasis on Bible study or on other materials. How much time will the group invest in projects.
