Having worked in an On Campus/Off Campus hybrid environment for a while, it's possible for the ultimate goal of both to be the same but different means to the end are required. Another question could be, "How many steps are involved for each approach?" Due to On Campus groups being more pressed for time during each session; without intentionality, fellowship and accountability usually take place at an alternate time (not to mention mission/service). In contrast, maybe because of the more relaxed setting, Off Campus groups seem to fulfill teaching/discussion, fellowship and accountability in one setting more easily. This only leaves mission/service to be done at another time. Mark,good points!
