Steve Gladen on Aligning “Affinities” with Small Groups
Do you have gender-based ministries or programs? For example, do you have a Beth Moore Bible study for women? And maybe a monthly men’s breakfast and Men’s Fraternity? How about a couples’ date night? Singles’ events? Do you have ministries or programs designed to minister to these affinities?
How are they organized? Do you have a cohesive strategy? Or do your affinity ministries really function as individual silos?
I had the opportunity today to talk with Steve Gladen, Saddleback’s small group pastor, about the way their small group ministry is structured and how they’re handling gender-based ministry. It was a conversation I know you’re going to want to listen in to.
