Even healthy groups sometimes have a problem. The best thing to do when this happens is to take care of it immediately. If you notice a sudden problem in your group, call 911 right away. Deal with the situation yourself if possible; if not , call the ministry center and ask to speak to me or one of the other pastors to give advice or help you handle it.
Don't let problems - such as chronic lateness or absence; unhealthy attitudes; sinful, unrepentant lifestyles; or lack of growth - fester until you have a life-threatening situation on your hands. Accidents, illnesses, even major catastrophes are part of life. A strong small group, with the support of the church's small group team, can deal with them in healthy ways as they come.
Too many groups die because they did not take good care of themselves. Don't let it happen to you!
