We all know the students who are 'too cool for school' and act like they don't care. We are also familiar with the ones who can't seem to stop making themselves the center of attention. This session will open the conversation on how to help guide these students in our discipleship efforts.
Most of us understand that small groups are really the best way to help students grow as disciples, ask tough questions, and work out their faith. But we may still have a hard time figuring out the best way to make small groups work in our own setting. In this session we will discuss practical things we can do to make our small groups effective for discipleship.
