This leader's guide #1 provides 16 sessions for student-led senior high small groups. They also include the necessary information for setting up and maintaining this approach to reaching and teaching senior high youth. The cell-group design calls for two student leaders, one or two adult 'encouragers,' and up to six additional youth members, usually friends - both churched and unchurched. When the group reaches ten, it splits. The two new groups then grow again to ten. The model has proven effective in numerous areas and is especially appealing to senior-highs because it teaches them leadership, encourages them to invite others, creates a safe place of spiritual intimacy, and deals with integrating Bible, life, and faith.
