Abstract

The project will be implemented at the First Baptist Church of The Woodlands, Texas. The prospective new church will be 'apostolic' in that it will be a church focusing on the unchurched. The new church's form stems from Carl George's community group model that he labels 'meta-church.' The first phase of the project develops the community group leader training curriculum. The second phase centers on building the leadership skills of the community group leaders. The third phase organizes the pilot group. The fourth phase provides the community group leaders with field experience and employs the meta-church structure by having the pilot group meet eight times over a twelve week period. The fifth phase evaluates the group's effectiveness in order to determine if the meta-church model will be utilized in a new church start.
