Women's Group Program & Activity Plan

What a good one includes

• A clear statement of the group's core mission and values to ensure every planned activity serves a shared spiritual or community purpose.
• A detailed multi-month calendar featuring cohesive monthly themes that build upon one another to create a continuous spiritual journey.
• Step-by-step meeting outlines that allocate specific times for welcoming icebreakers, core study or discussion, and closing reflections.
• A curated list of open-ended, vulnerable discussion questions designed to foster deep sharing and active listening among members.
• At least two structured community service or outreach projects that allow the group to live out their faith and values together practically.
• A practical preparation checklist detailing all required readings, media links, and physical supplies needed for each session.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Packing the schedule too tightly with content, leaving no unstructured time for organic conversation, prayer, and personal updates.
• Choosing a single, rigid style of study or activity that fails to accommodate the diverse spiritual seasons and learning styles of the women in the group.
• Relying solely on the leader to facilitate every session rather than building in opportunities for members to co-host and share ownership.
• Neglecting a clear communication plan, which leaves members feeling disconnected or uncertain about meeting details between gatherings.
