Group Leaders

All Leaders: join us for the 2018 All Leader Launch!

August 17 at 7pm

We're glad you're interested in becoming a Small Group leader!

Small Groups are an integral part of what we do as a church. We believe that sustained life change occurs as we are growing in a relationship with Christ. We believe this happens best when we prioritize intentional relationships with others who are seeking this same goal. Small Groups provide people with the opportunity to connect with others, grow in their relationship with Christ, and experience community. Small Group leaders create environments for people to develop & grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

Leading a Small Group is not hard, and it’s fun. We supply you with resources & training to make leading a group easy! Here’s a list of training and resources available to all leaders:

Training

  •  Leader Orientation: Available to those investigating leadership & new leaders 2 times each year. More info >>
  • Leadership Launches: Two bi-annual gatherings of Small Group leaders for training, connecting with other leaders, and fun. Those exploring leadership are also welcome to attend!
  • Leader Get Together: Two bi-annual one-on-one meetings with Small Group Pastor or Small Group Coordinator.
  • Theopraxis: Expand your knowledge of God through theology training opportunities. A teacher presents helpful theology and then allow time for you to absorb that content through interaction with others.
Leader Orientation Registration – June 3rd & 10th

Resources

  • Starting Well: All groups go through the book Starting Well during their first 3 months as a group. All materials for group life are supplied in the book – Icebreakers, study, prayer times, and the 8 essentials for leading a group.
