Small Group Vital Signs: Michael Mack
Have you ever wondered how healthy your Small Group is? Now you can know! Michael Mack’s latest book Small Group Vital Signs points out seven important characteristics to help you diagnose how healthy your small group really is! It not only guides leaders through the seven vital signs but it also allows the leader to utilize a practical assessment tool: Healthy Small Group Evaluation, and as many of us already know…
Healthy Small Groups lead to a Healthy Church!
Here is a little sneak peek into this new book:
“Why do many small groups settle for average or ‘just good-‐enough’ meetings led by ordinary leaders who have a listless spiritual life? I can only imagine you understand what I’m referring to here. These are groups that have a typical Bible study on comfy couches, while the members engage in the usual and expected conversations about the text. Truth be told, many small groups have drifted into mediocrity and have settled in as a “nice little group” for armchair Christians.
I have to say I have read several books on small groups and I am not exaggerating when I say this is the best small group book yet! Mike nails it when he gives his personal observations concerning the state of so many small group ministries that make up the church today. His insights point us back to what is most important and foundational to the health of not only our small groups but also our church. So, if you are ready to get off that “comfy couch” we call small groups and become the “healthy” small group that God has intended, then pre-order your copy of Small Group Vital Signs TODAY! Small Group Vital Signs is a must read for every Small Group Pastor and leader!

Central Christian Church
Central is a place for new beginnings. We believe that no matter what you’ve done or where you’ve been, God’s grace is available. Through His grace, healing can be found, addictions can be faced, forgiveness can be experienced, marriages can be restored, and lives can be changed.
Central is also a place where it’s okay to not be okay. You don’t have to fake perfection. You don’t have to pretend you have it together if you don’t. Just come as you are with your past, pain, challenges, and junk. God promises to meet you where you are, but He won’t leave you there. He begins a work of transformation in your life. We are about acceptance, compassion, and relevance to everyday life. We have no hidden agenda, but just explore real life issues from a biblical perspective.
