Small Groups 2.0 – Task Groups On The Web
Posted on 21. May, 2008 by frank in faith, small groups
In my previous posts on this topic we covered Small Groups 2.0 for social groups and traditional (study) small groups. In this post I want to cover task groups.
Some churches that are working on being churches of groups instead of a church with groups classify their ministry teams as small groups as well. These type of groups would include ushers, security, parking, tech teams, and the band.
Our CCV band also uses a website to enhance their productivity as a ministry of our church. Here is how they use the website:
- To schedule and manage auditions for the student (teen) and adult band
- To schedule the student and adult band
- To schedule the student and adult tech teams
- To access the song list for each Sunday service
- To access the song library to download sheet music (password protected)
For task oriented groups technology has everything to do with productivity and very little with social purposes. These groups spend significant time practicing, and serving together so the need to enhance the social experience just isn’t there because their social experience is in the act of serving together as a group. When trying to determine how technology can enhance our groups we must always start with answering the question, “What does our group need?” Then look to technology to help meet that need.
