Have you ever wondered how to recruit leaders or actually get them to stick around for another year? Or how exactly someone even starts a small groups ministry when their church has always had Sunday School? We’re here to help with how-to guides written by trusted church leaders who’ve been there and are here to help.

So what should you do when there’s conflict in your group? Or when a couple in your group needs more marriage help than you can offer. Or when you have the one person who just. Keeps. Talking. You aren’t to ask. And while we don’t have ALL the answers, we do have some tried and true strategies from leaders around the country to help with the questions your leaders ask most.

If you’re a small group leader, you believe in the power of community. You know that every stage and phase of life needs a unique kind of influence. But what exactly do you do? What exactly is your job?

For years, Lead Small by Reggie Joiner and Tom Schefchunas has helped thousands of children and youth leaders embrace five big ideas for leading small groups. We have partnered with LEAD SMALL to share some BIG IDEAS for SMALL GROUP LEADERS in your adult ministry

How do you launch a small groups ministry? And how do you re-engage leaders each year? We’re here to help with a training event where WE DO THE WORK and you connect with your leaders. (ok, you have to bring the snacks, too.)

Lead Small training is designed to give you everything you need to train and invest in your small group leaders. Leaders will leave with a clear vision for their responsibility in their group, five common chacteristics of great leaders, and a renewed motivation for walking alongside adults in their faith journey. Because it’s an all-digital resource, you can use all the videos at once to create a one-day event, or spread them out and show them weekly to inspire them, train them, and encourage them to keep doing what they do to lead well and lead small.
