i really dont think the care group thing works as well in the bible belt as some other places. we have a few active groups. the trick is working into the schedule. we have had a hard time with that. people are so busy. weve tried onenight a month on wen, sun. but most just meet when they can. some of the larger churchs on the west coast such a saddle back church was built on small group ministry.


So do people in California, Saddleback, not lead busy lives like those in the Bible belt? I think the church in Acts was built on small groups ministry.

I don't think it's that as much as the mindset in this area, Church is on Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings and Wednesday nights, deviate from that schedule, and something is odd.

Communities in the Bible Belt still (somewhat) avoid these times as "Church Times" and don't tend to schedule other events on those nights as often, etc. With that burned into people's minds, it's sometimes hard to get something else added.
