Small groups are crucial to youth ministry.
The author, Laurie Polich, quickly points out that small groups build significant relationships between kids and caring adults. Besides, small groups are biblical. Polich credits her passion for small group ministry to her own faith experience. A small group leader at a youth camp not only nurtured her faith but also modeled the characteristics of what makes up a small group leader. This book is full of practical ideas.
