Small Group Leaders

Thank you for your willingness to serve as a Small Group Leader. It is no small or simple task. You are a shepherd of God’s people, on the front lines of making disciples. We have created this page to provide you with helpful resources and encouragement along the way.

If you have any questions or just need some encouragement, please text or email us anytime.

These gatherings are a chance to connect with other leaders, learn from one another, and hear from guest speakers. We encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities to be equipped and encouraged.
