- People are searching for intimate relationships, hope, peace, safety, and belonging. In a world of rapid change we must switch to a different way of reaching them. This project proposes that small groups are a fruitful method of meeting deep needs. I studied a small group that met seven times over a period of six weeks to study building relationship, prayer and spiritual growth. The findings confirm that small groups are a method that significantly meets the need of relationships, increases prayer and aids in spiritual growth. Some significant findings show that there was a 67% increase in spiritual growth due to the need for input and involvement from others in a small group setting. This is consistent with John Wesley's model for small groups. There was an increase of fifty percent in the understanding of true community after a small group experience. This demonstrates the need for close relationships and the desire for personal accountability. In order for this project to make an impact, transformation needs to take place. Robert Quinn, in his book, Change the World, says that 'transforming a human system usually means we transform ourselves' (Quinn 2000, 4). My hope is for transformation and vision to take place in my heart so I can lead transformation in my church through small groups.
