If visitors come to the large group chapter meeting, either the small group leaders or some type of visitation team should work on follow-up. Generally, students tend to be more committed to the life of the fellowship if they have a sense of ownership in and responsibility for the group. As a result, it is important to help people find their niche of ministry within or extending from the chapter. This will strongly enhance their integration. Structures Our normal structures include large group chapter meetings, small group Bible studies, and prayer meetings.
Many schools have other regular structures as well.
Since our fellowship is both for the building up of believers and the outreach to the non-involved, it is important that we think through how to use our structures to accomplish both goals. Some chapters have decided that large group chapter meetings will be a primary net for outreach to non-believers. As a result, their small groups and discipling relationships are essential for the nurturing of believers. Decide whether one of those polar views, or some combination of them, would best suit your campus. Decide on the function of the structures and then shape the form accordingly.
