When Relationships Matter: Make Your Church a Place Where Kids and Teenagers Belong

Every kid needs to be known by someone and to belong somewhere.

Think of it this way: connecting kids to a consistent leader who believes in God and believes in them is something the church can do that nothing else in culture does.

In When Relationships Matter, Reggie Joiner, Kristen Ivy, and Tom Shefchunas explain a shift that has been happening in the discipleship strategy of effective churches over the past decade. The three values and nine practices in When Relationships Matter will help you rethink and improve your small group strategy, including…

How to improve your small group structure
How to empower your small group leaders
How to create engaging experiences for kids and teenagers

With best practices, training tips, and real-life stories from ministry leaders across the country, this book has what you need to create and improve an effective small group culture in your church.
