Small Group Leaders

We’re glad you’re interested in becoming a Small Group Leader!

Small Group Leaders DO NOT:
  • Need to be Bible scholars
  • Do everything
  • Have to pray out loud every time
 
Small Group Leaders ARE: 
  • Willing to get to know people in their group
  • Open to learn and grow as a leader and a person of faith
  • Excited about Small Groups
 
Small Groups are an integral part of what we do as Church and Groups need willing leaders. Paul taught the Corinthians that some plant the seeds, others water them, but God makes them grow (1 Corinthians 3:6). Group leaders have the privilege of creating environments in which seeds of faith are planted and watered in the lives of group members, while trusting God with the growth.  Sustained life change occurs as we grow in relationship with Christ. This happens best when we take time to be with others who are walking in faith with us.
