We’re heavy into the small group administration time of the year right now – I just got a few stats from our group as far as breakdowns by gender and class that were interesting to me. Here’s where we’re starting this year, and some observations from last year as well:
- 52% Female students
- 48% Male students
- 38% Freshman
- 27% Sophomores
- 22% Juniors
- 13% Seniors
- 37% got together 1-3 times outside of normal group
- 34% got together 4-6 times outside of normal group
- 96% of leaders said that email was the best way to communicate with them
- 39% said texting was another good way to communicate with them
- 25% of our small group leaders won’t be returning next year
- 81% read the weekly small group leader email
- 75% canceled 0-3 meeting times during the year
