Ready to lead a group?

Let’s Get Started

You know that it’s important to belong to a community, not just attend a church.

We know that defining community is tough because being in community is more than showing up for church. Community is messy. It can also be beautiful. It’s coming around the table, laughing till it hurts, and learning the way of Jesus together.  It’s also crying with a certain family after group and praying around hospital beds.

What if you could help people find community, find family and become more like Jesus? You can! A great way is by leading or hosting a group.

Got questions? Here are a few answers to questions we regularly see about leading small groups.

Why lead a group? Expand

Jesus made His mission clear when He said ‘Go and make disciples.’ At [wpbb site:meta_box field=’theme_mods_page-builder-framework-child#fm_church_name’] the way we intentionally make disciples as a church is through our Groups.

A great leadership mantra is ‘lead from the front.’ It doesn’t mean that you’re perfect or have to commit every night of the week or you have to be a theologian. It just means that you ‘go first‘ in living like Jesus and then you bring along others for the journey.

If you love helping people take their next step, seeing friends become family and celebrating life change then maybe leading a Group is your next step. Maybe this is what you were made for!

Am I qualified? Expand

Leading a group isn’t about knowing everything or having it all together. It’s about helping others become more like Jesus. Don’t worry, whether you’re leading a group or apprenticing, we will make sure you have everything you need to be successful.

Is there training? Expand

There is training for this area. We want to make sure you feel confident and able as you lead. So we give you the tools, resources and direction for this.

We’ll go over the specifics when our groups director gets in touch with you.

What will my group do? Expand

In a nutshell, a group is a community, a ‘family.’

Most groups will will take the materials provided each week to go deeper into our Sunday message, using it to discover the way of Jesus more and more. Other groups hit specific topics around marriage, family, finance, leadership and disciple making.

Each group will also ‘adopt’ a local organization that we partner with and serve there on a consistent basis to make a difference in our community.

How does the church help? Expand

We don’t just ‘throw you in it’ and hope you find your way. Promise!

We are committed to helping you be the best leader you can be. Besides the initial training we provide you with resources, support, coaching, and (most of all) relationship for your leadership journey.
