People inside and outside of our churches are hungering for places that feel smaller and offer welcome, connection, and belonging. Small groups offer that and so much more. In this session, we will hear a unique perspective from Rev. Matoe Yamada Fodor who serves at the Sacramento Japanese United Methodist Church, the Garden Church. Pastor Matoe will help us explore the essential elements of a small groups and casting a vision for small groups among other important ideas.
