Small Groups

Thank you for your interest in being a community group facilitator!

Small groups are an integral part of what we do as a church. We believe that sustained life change occurs as we are growing in a relationship with Christ, and that this happens best when we are prioritizing intentional relationships with others who are seeking this same goal.  Small groups provide people with the opportunity to connect with others, grow in their relationship with Christ, and experience community. Our small group leaders create opportunities for people to develop and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

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 those they lead, while trusting God with the growth. Our leaders play a pivotal role in helping us achieve our mission to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ!

Since our small group facilitators play such an important role, we take care when enlisting them. Please read through the information below to better understand the role of a facilitator, qualifications, and expectations.
