There's no question that people in our culture enjoy gathering together around a common passion or activity. Softball, books, knitting, service projects—all of these are legitimate sparks for a successful affinity small group.
Of course, the trick with affinity groups is moving beyond whatever common ground got the group started, and moving toward a vibrant community defined by deep connection and spiritual growth. That should be the goal of any affinity group; it's also the biggest challenge. Fortunately, this downloadable training resource can help you and your affinity groups get on the right track.
