Small groups of christ followers meeting on their own, facilitated by a leader, is not a new phenomenon.
In the first few hundred years of the church these kinds of groups were all that existed…they were pretty much the only way to experience church. Luke describes this kind of group in Act 2:42-47 and throughout the years of church history the value of these types of groups hasn’t changed. At church, you’ll find the same healthy, independently functioning, leader-facilitated, small groups of people that Luke wrote about 2,000+ years ago.
