Small Group Leaders HandbookSmall Group Leaders’ Handbook:
Developing Transformational Communities

By J. Alex Kirk, Jay Anderson, Myron Crockett, Tina Teng, Úna Lucey-Lee, Janice McWilliams and Sandra Van Opstal (IVP, 2009)

The small group that wrote this book—made up of current and former campus ministry professionals with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship—sees a small group as: a community that studies the Bible, prays and participates in God’s mission together for the purposes of God’s transforming work. Small groups are about transformation, and in this book transformation is given flesh and blood in the faces and names of the people you lead.
