Huddle agendas vary based upon the focus of your huddle, however, we have provided these sample agendas for a 60 minute and 90 minute meeting. Because the aim of huddles is to provide a deeper level of discipleship, scripture, prayer, accountability, and other extra-biblical resources can be used.
The following templates are a potential guide for the structure of your huddle. Feel free to download one of these templates as a starting point.
60 Minute Meeting:
10: Open with prayer. Ask each participant to present one prayer request at the start of each meeting. Assign a person to pray over the requests and ask the Lord to sharpen each of you through your relationship.
10: Quote your Scripture memory verses for the week.
20: Study the Word of God together. A great way to do this is to share SOAP journals from the week. The goal of studying the Bible is to apply the Word of God. Remember, knowledge without application is useless information.
Application questions that facilitate discussion:
- What are you hearing from God, and how are you responding?
- What is God teaching you, and how is it affecting your life?
- What promise can you claim?
- Is there an action or attitude to avoid?
- What is the overall principle to apply?
10: Accountability and Confession. Spend a few moments asking questions and keeping each other accountable. All accountability should be saturated with grace, not legalism. You can’t expect what you don’t inspect.
10: Share prayer requests and close with praise and prayer: Where have you seen God at work in your life this week? Who in the group do you need to encourage today? How can the group pray for areas of sin and temptation? Who are you seeking to share the gospel with and how can we pray for them?
90 Minute Meeting:
10: Open with prayer. Ask each participant to present one prayer request at the start of each meeting. Assign a person to pray over the requests and ask the Lord to sharpen each of you through your relationship.
10: Have a time of intentional conversation by briefly sharing the highs and lows of the week. You can also share celebrations and praises. Discuss what the Lord is teaching each individual for that week.
