-Fifth Monday: November 29, January 31, April 30

-1st and 3rd Mondays (Mezanine group)
-Second Thursdays 7:30: hang out in the Mezanine (board games, sports, prayer, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
-New small group to emerge once per year

# data[].attributes.body
-Josh's Dream: the group facilitates
-Everyone leads 2-3 times per year
-We'll decide who leads week-to-week at the 'closed' group (we can discuss who feels called to lead based on what was discussed)

-For the closed group, we need to limit our discussions so we don't monopolize our small group time totally with administrative tasks

# data[].attributes.body
-Tie to the Bible
-"one off" (1 week lesson, not something that takes multiple weeks)
-Could be a series on a topic that doesn't necessarily require week-to-week building, but does address the same topic

# data[].attributes.body
-Remind for OG's, then maybe switch to Remind for the new group if it works out
-Hayden and Craig will talk to people within the church after services

What do you like / dislike? What information do you want on it?

Compass.church/youngadults

# data[].attributes.body
What is our goal, can we come up with a catchy / short way to say it?

“Open Group and Closed group” is a no go. What do we want to call these two groups.

# data[].attributes.body
How do we want to recruit people to join? Fliers, Graphics?

Social Media for the open group?

Who wants to manage and post - do we all post, where?

# data[].attributes.body
Let’s identify when we are meeting and where so that way we can share it on the website / with church staff.

# data[].attributes.body
How do we want to grow, when do we help people “on-ramp” and when do we help people “exit” without it being weird. When do we have three groups?

# data[].attributes.body
Who do we want to lead and facilitate each time, how do we decide that ahead of time.

What ways can we have people volunteer?

Food / Snacks

Administrator (manages roster)

Social Events (helps plan social events periodically)

Discipler (meets 1:1 with those who are new)

Teacher: Facilitates group and leads conversations

Recruiter: Messages people encouraging them to come

# data[].attributes.body
What things do we want to guide us?

Do we create our own or go get something that works. When do we change - semester? How do we decide if it isn’t working?

# data[].attributes.body
How do we want to communicate plans for the week? How do we communicate changes in plans?

What mediums do we use to communicate

# data[].attributes.body
What do we do when people have beef, frustration between each other? Or don’t like the way things are going.

# data[].attributes.body
- Google Form when new people show up

Can we have an announcement at each campus on Sunday's?

I think at this point that the closed group is somewhat separate from Compass. By that, I mean we don't advertise it and we've just mutually agreed to meet as friends. Contractually for Josh, he probably needs to claim it under Compass, but I don't think we should categorize it as open vs. closed since the closed has become its own thing.

# data[].attributes.headline
Need to explain more of who is in the group and what we do (age, demographic, etc.)

Open to changing location as long as we post the full address instead of just the person's name :)

I have friends who go to church in houston and this is what they do... there's pros and cons but helps give some distinction or something .... maybe post grad?

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t love that we have a group with like 80+ And only a handful show up

# data[].attributes.body
I would love to know contact information so that we can better follow up with people who have been stragglers and may need some individuals care

# data[].attributes.body
ideally i would love to launch a new group (like this size) every year. and have every other week where they meet by them selves and then the other week we are all together

# data[].attributes.headline
Can we post a few days in advance the info. Our phones blow up on Monday's with people asking if we are having group.

I think Compass YA is good for the big group. The former closed group doesn't necessarily need a moniker, we are what we are at this point :)

I like open group... it might be chaotic at first but if there's more constant small groups adding a person every now and then is no big deal. community should always be accessible to people.

"Helping young adults navigate to find God, community, and ..."
Maybe even have a blurp that being a young adult is uncharted waters and the church wants to help

Have a representative at CG interest meetings, talk with high school group at the end of the year, and social media.

This is a three year deal that I have used at work to help young professionals and it is good, deep, but super practical and applicable. Might be something we try?

# data[].attributes.body
I think Josh should have a prewritten message for new people who join the group. As soon as someone joins, they should be messaged publicly with the same message. A greeting, the intentions, plus when/where we meet so people feel welcomed and establish purpose

# data[].attributes.body
Josh can have a Google form posted somewhere that can be filled out anonymously. Can ask for the question/comment/concern plus an OPTIONAL space for a name if that person wants Josh to talk directly about it with them.

Our goal is to be a gathering place for young adults of the mid-cities to encourage each other and pursue a deeper relationship with God together.

I like having every other week, just maybe a little more consistency. I have been getting a lot of backlash from us switching to every other week

yes annoucements on sunday mornings, social media post weekly, who's in charge of social media at the church

# data[].attributes.body
I know we have a lot of new people each week, but the intros take way too long to go through and feel like we waste so much time on that.

# data[].attributes.body
every week is great rn bc school but also having consistent weekly community is also needed. Plus there's probably so many people who need to meet weekly

what if we started something big like  the Porch??

I think a big thing is the website, when I was moving back to dallas I spent a lot of time looking up church and looking over their YA website. Yes a YA social media page also

or like a breakaway/porch vibe maybe monthly for now? idk have a worship night and a speaker and then maybe break into small groups?? something

Or host something big where we have a big speaker come in and its advertised for awhile just to grab the attention of YA so they know compass is an option

I prefer having a study that lasts a few weeks and builds off of the previous week. I feel like it would engage more people

Leader: anything works but I think the bigger question is what should be the long term format for the big group.

I would love to be able to help more, maybe if I had a specific job role, but being in school I'm worried to over commit or have a test and not be able to follow through.

Giulia is good at snacks

Volunteer/Admin: The more central the better. Josh should be responsible for most of this then delegate to willing volunteers as their schedule allows.

advertising we're starting a study and its 6 weeks and that would draw people in

For the big group, we shouldn't have week-by-week "plans" Mondays should be locked in. Any additional activities should be outside Monday (fun stuff).

maybe having a real adults, people in the next stage of life leading the group. I think there's wisdom that comes from having an older leader but all the members are young adults
