These are notes I've made from my own small group experience which meets quarterly. Monthly is fine too depending on the desire of the group. The facilitator should spend the meeting time on items 3 and 4. This group is not a format to preach a message. It's designed to help Kings release the desire of their hearts and connect with people that can help them take the next step.

Other formats - Meeting with other Kings on a monthly basis is a great way to give and receive encouragement and wise counsel. Other folks have some great formats for those kinds of meetings and we've written a couple newsletters that you should read; Face Time and Meet Your Dream Board. Here's the list of meeting formats you'll find helpful. They are well organized and usually cost something to join.
