Most of us who teach bible study curriculum are good at two things, teaching and studying. But if you are like me you struggle in another area, fellowship. This may seem like a waste of time or not part of your job but neither is true. Fellowship is what builds community in your group. Then through this community your group begins to open up and share which makes your teaching and discussion more powerful and effective. Also, as community is built your group begins to grow. Therefore fellowship must be a vital part of your small group if you want it to grow. This may mean that you have to get out of your comfort zone a little but that is okay. It won't hurt too much. You just need to take the time to plan an event here or there or a moment in your lesson where people can fellowship. You could also delegate this responsibility but make sure you are still a participant. Either way you go just ensure that fellowship becomes a part of what your small group does and is about.
