Group Name

Your group name should be intuitive, inviting, and down to earth. It should match the purpose of the group and should appeal to people who are not familiar with Good News or the group. Your group name should make people feel included, so when choosing a name be sure to avoid using: 
• Words or acronyms that people may not understand 
• “Churchy” words or clichés 
• Wording that really belongs in the group description (such as “35+ Singles") 
Consider using the leader’s name as the group name. A name such as “The Hardys' Group” is acceptable, but “The Hardys” is not because it’s less intuitive to someone new to the idea of Connection Groups. 

Group Description

The description you write for your group will either draw a person to connect with the group or become a turn-off, depending how it is written. Put thought into your description so that it is warm and informative. Add a personal touch and avoid wording that people don’t understand (so readers don’t feel like outsiders).
The description should:
• Clarify for the reader what type of person your group might appeal to
• Be inviting to people who don’t have a church background
• Include a sentence or two about the purpose of the group or what you’d like to accomplish
• If applicable, explain the content the group uses (such as curriculum or discussion of Kevin's message)
• Clarify how the group handles childcare (if the group is open to adults who may have children)

Group Meeting Location

If you don't meet at the same place every time, that's okay. Leave it blank and I will ensure a new member gets in touch with you first to find out where you're meeting. 

Is your group currently open to new members?

If yes, your group will be searchable in our website and/or promoted in the lobby. You can update this at any time by contacting Tyler.
