Resources for Small Groups
Small group studies and discussions are only limited by the imagination and interests of the members of the group. Many of the books and videos are available from the Pastors, the church library, the office or other small groups. This page is a compilation of some of the studies that we have enjoyed over the years.
If you have any questions about these materials, or if you have used other resources that you would like to add to this list, please contact us at SmallGroups.websterpres.org.
We hope you will enjoy these studies as much as we have.
BOOKS
SPIRITUAL GROWTH THROUGH SPIRITUAL GIFTS
by Kenneth Haugh, William McKay and Sandra Ashby
![]() |
Available from Stephen Ministries
This eight session series (90 minutes each) explains the 20 spiritual gifts identified in Romans, I Corinthians and Ephesians. The gifts are given to the church, and each Christian is given spiritual gifts to use in service to build up the body of Christ. This course includes a series of individual and group activities to help each member identify his spiritual gifts. One of these activites is the Haugk spiritual gifts inventory and other activities include reflection and discussion of each person's goals, achievements, interests and role models. Taken together, these eight weeks result in an understanding of the gifts we have received, what they mean and how they can be shared for the benefit of the entire church. The course materials include a leader's guide with completely scripted lesson plans for each session. The guide is easy to understand and easy to use. |
