How much time is needed for each week's meeting?

You will need one or two hours, depending on your group’s needs. Ninety minutes works well in most situations. You should consider (1) how long the videos are for your chosen study, (2) how long your group wants to spend in small-group discussion (we recommend 30–45 minutes), and (3) if you want any additional time for fellowship at the beginning or end of your meetings.

If you want to keep your meeting as short as possible, have your participants stream and watch the video portion for each session independently on Thinkific and then gather together for just the group discussion and fellowship. This works especially well for busy parents and working adults.
