<note>Y
ou’ve probably heard of the meta church small group model.  It’s long held a kind of buzz word status in small group land.  The truth is there’s a good chance that you’re already using elements of it without even knowing it.  In fact, when you pick up a book like Creating Community or Building a Church of Small Groups it’s easy to recognize traces of concepts introduced by Paul Yongi Cho’s Successful Home Cell Groups and Prepare Your Church for the Future by Carl George.

So what are some of the distinctives of the meta church model?  You can see some of the key assumptions right here.  Instead, I’d like to focus on the advantages and disadvantages of the model.  As we’ve said before, there is no problem-free solution or model.  Instead of searching for problem-free, we need to learn to choose the set of problems we’d rather have.</note>
