Small-group quick start

One good gathering.
Start there.

You don’t need a rollout. Bring your people together, capture what matters, and keep caring for each other all week.

Less to manage. More time to be present.

Give your group a home.

Create your small group in Living Stones. Make it feel like your people.

Choose a name and group image.
Set how people can join, and add another leader if you share the responsibility.

Share your group’s invitation link or QR code.

Send the invitation in the conversation your group already uses.
Ask everyone to open the invitation and join. New members can download the app along the way.

Create your next gathering so the plan lives in one place.

Add the time, location, and what you’re studying.
Invite everyone to RSVP. Use the group chat feature for anything you still need to work out.

Let your group know you’re recording, start the meeting capture, and put the phone where it can hear everyone.

Keep the conversation natural. Share prayer requests and God moments as they come up.
Stop recording when you’re done. Open the recap to revisit what was shared.
Confirm people and sharing where the app asks, so requests and moments reach the right people.

Bring the captured requests into your prayer list.

Pray for someone by name. Let them know you’re praying with them.
Add updates as things change. Keep the conversation going with anyone who missed the gathering.

When an answer comes, give it a place in your group’s story.

Share a Stone—a moment of God’s faithfulness—and celebrate together.
Begin your next gathering by returning to prayer updates and the stories you shared.
