MAG has popped up on many church radars lately with our MAG Virtual Groups Pastor (VGP) service. Beyond the “how does this work” question … which we love to answer … we thought it would be a good idea to objectively demonstrate our VGP service by the numbers.

A church running 450 in morning worship attendance (MWA) … with small group attendance/penetration at 50% … equals about 225 people in small groups … which equals about 18 groups with 10 to 12 people in them. Said another way, a church with 450 in MWA has about 18 small group leaders that need to be consistently connected with, coached, and observed.

MAG’s VGP service … is a game changer in HOW a church powers their small groups effort.

Here’s a comparison chart (CLICK HERE) … detailing the difference in costs between hiring a small groups pastor … vs. deploying a MAG VGP … to execute your small groups.

Think we are biased or just plain crazy with our numbers? Here’s a good snapshot by the Small Business Administration (SBA) on the REAL costs of having an employee.

If you would like to skin-the-cat differently with your small groups … OR just add oomph to your small groups team … we’d love to chat with you. Contact us HERE. There’s so much more to our VGP service than just dollar savings … but, we know that money talks.
