5 Small Group Bible Studies to Kick Off the New Year

Hi there, leader. We see you. 

Adjusting through COVID has been rough for everyone, but even more so for you. 

You’ve got people counting on you and people you want to help, but it’s tough to even get people to talk in small group. You’ve had to figure out how to go online, and you could be addressing more conflict than usual as everyone’s dealt with some heavy things.

You’re happy to do it, but maybe you could use a hand? 

With small group video Bible studies, you can still dig into the Word we all so desperately need—but without hours of prep before every small group meeting. Here are five to shorten your search.
