Resources

Welcome Growth Group leaders!

This page will be an ever-growing list of resources and tools for you to access and use as leaders. These tools will remain on this page, so you can access them and use them as often as necessary.

The key to being a great leader in the Kingdom of God is depending on God and His power (Matt. 6:33). God desires for us to be constant learners, so we can be equipped to be increasingly more useful for the advancement of Jesus’ Kingdom! So avail yourself of these tools and if you have thoughts on other resources that aren’t here, let us know so we can offer more help to each other. We are all on the same team, unified with Jesus as our common thread.

Let’s learn and put knowledge into action and we will see ourselves -- and those we influence -- become the people on mission that God desires us to be!
