Equipping You to Lead with Confidence, Care, and Purpose

Whether you are currently leading a Life Group, facilitating a Bible study, or simply curious about what it takes to guide a small community, this training is designed for you. Leading a group isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about creating a space where people feel known, loved, and encouraged to grow in their faith.

Over three interactive Saturday sessions, you will gain practical tools, biblical foundations, and a supportive community of peers to help you thrive as a leader.
