How Do We Get There from Here?: Navigating the Transformation to Holistic Small Groups

by M. Scott Boren, Ralph W. Neighbour Jr. (Foreword)

Scott Boren has worked with hundreds of churches and pastors. Throughout the years, he's made a few key discoveries, which are explained in great detail in How Do We Get There From Here?* Success with holistic small groups happens when the members of the first groups are fulfilling the unique mission of your church.*Congregational assimilation is a stage six goal, not something you should try immediately.*The transition requires the senior pastor’s personal and long-term involvement.* Team implementation is far more successful than a single individual calling the shots.* The transition to holistic small groups is a values shift, not the launching of a new program.These findings are just a small sample of what you will discover in this practical, step-by-step book on holistic small group or cell group implementation!Is Boren's transition process a good fit for your church and you?There are dozens of introductory books on small groups, cell groups, or holistic small groups, which provide excellent reading. This book is unique. It delivers a transition process that when followed properly guarantees healthy, holistic small groups that have been proven to work in any kind of church.
