    "The dynamics of small groups is explosive. This seminar is what lit the fuse for us. In it we learned the fundamentals of how to get started, how to nurture o£d members in groups, and how to be evangelistic through small groups. Since then, we have been going strong."

      David Smith, Minister
      Warrenton Church of Christ
      Warrenton, Virginia

    "The work John Ellas did in preparing the Bay Are Church of Christ for our shift into a small groups structure was invaluable. We had done our homework, but we still had countless questions as we began shifting our ministry in this direction.

    We invited John to become a part of this shift by calling on him to do his "Advanced Managing Home Groups for Growth seminar" for our entire congregation. It was a great decision! The material built into this workshop is extremely thorough and to the point. When you combine the workshop material with John Ellas' personal skill and broad knowledge of church growth, you have a complete package of structured essentials and customized answers to questions unique to your local work.

    I highly recommend that any congregation going in small groups consider this workshop a requirement. It continues to be a tremendous blessing to our work -- ten months and fifteen groups later, with more on the way."

      Mark Hodges, Minister
      Bay Area Church of Christ
