In this session, Jay and Chris discuss the book Leading Small Groups by Chris Surratt. We're on Chapter 4, Group Type Trade-Offs. There is some discussion of closed groups, which is good to know, but Brook Hills opts for an open group model to help people remain outwardly oriented.

If you'd like a copy, here's the link from Amazon for the bookLeading Small Groups by Chris Surratt.
