Our hearts were made for deep, authentic relationships. For community. And like nothing else, small groups provide the kind of life-giving community that builds and empowers the body of Christ and impacts the world.

At Willow Creek Community Church, small groups are so important that they define the core organisational strategy. Willow Creek has gone from being a church with small groups to being a church of small groups. Sharing insights from that transition, its two chief architects tell how your church - whatever its size and circumstances - can become a place where people of all ages can experience powerful, transforming community.
