Job Description of a Small Group Rep

Small Group reps represent their group at the monthly reps meeting,* and their job is to:

1. be a link between their small group and the congregation by:

• • regularly attending and participating in the Reps meeting;
  • sharing information gained at the reps meeting with their group,
  • facilitating any discussion about congregational matters requested at the reps meeting, and
    conveying the group’s responses to the appropriate pastor or leadership person in a timely
    manner.

2. foster small group life at AMC by:

• • engaging in conversation at the reps meeting about aspects of small group life; sharing ideas,
    updates, and observations about what is or isn’t working;
  • giving some attention to the congregational task of helping interested people who are not in a
    small group find a small group home.

It is not assumed that the Rep will:

• • be the group’s leader,
  • be responsible for the group’s health,
  • serve as Rep forever (a minimum two-year commitment is helpful for continuity at Reps’ meetings).

* Reps often meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7:15 pm, but not in December, June, or July.
