Small Group Leaders Needed!

One of the biggest needs in our church right now is for people to facilitate small groups.  We currently have MORE people wanting to be in groups than we have groups for them to join!!  That is why we are praying this verse BIG time:  Luke 10:2 --Please join us in praying for this for our church!!

I also believe wholeheartedly that there are people in our church who God may be asking to serve in this capacity ... maybe you? Maybe someone you know who you could encourage to become a group facilitator?

Here's some things you may NOT know about facilitating a group:

1) You do NOT have to be a Bible expert or scholar to lead a small group. The vast majority of groups simply discuss the message from Sunday and our staff provides easy to follow discussion guides.  If you listen to the message, you know enough to facilitate a Bible conversation!!

2)  You do NOT have to be a Bible teacher to lead a small group. Why? Because in a small group EVERYONE talks, discusses, and interacts.  You just help keep the conversation moving.

3)  You do need to LOVE PEOPLE and LOVE TO SEE LIFE CHANGE ... because those things happen in group life. Small groups are the best environments to experience God's love and to facilitate life change as people align their lives with God's will, are changed by His amazing grace, and are set free by His truth!!

4)  You do need to believe the truth, power and wisdom of these verses:  Hebrews 10:25 & Proverbs 13:20. Following the principles of these verses and trusting God's reason for giving them gives us confidence to be in community together, pray for God to bless your group meetings, and trust God for the results.

5)  You will be equipped and encouraged by our Groups & Discipleship staff. They'll meet with you to help you understand the basics and get your group going; they'll be praying for you and available anytime to serve you and help you!!
