Guard the Gate:

Basic Leader Training is essential for helping potential leaders count the cost of serving on the team. It is also an effective tool for guarding the gate, so that the wrong people aren’t allowed on the team. Healthy ministry is led by healthy leaders and un-healthy leaders can disrupt a healthy team.

Hosting a Basic Leader Training class is a great onramp for potential team members. Whether leading a ministry to children, youth or leading Small Groups, this seminar will cover the over-all vision and direction of the church as we develop an ever expanding group of leaders for an ever expanding ministry in our community.

Topics Covered:

• Six Marks of a Healthy Group

• Your Place on the Team

• How to Grow a Healthy Group (10 leadership skills for ministry leaders and Hosts)

• Dealing With Difficult People

• Leading a Group into Worship

• The Tools of the Trade

At the seminar you will receive:

• A notebook with outlines and tools for leading a ministry or a Small Group.

• Handouts for inviting your neighbors and friends to your group before you launch the group.

• Small Group covenants for the group and every member.

• Worship resources for use as a tool for leading your group into the presence of God.

• Attendance helps for keeping track of each member.

• Business card invitations for your Small Group.

This one time class will provide you with the tools you need to promote your Small Group and get it up and running. Once you complete this seminar you will have the opportunity to join an existing leadership team. You will be joining a movement of people who take Jesus at His word when He commanded us to make disciples of all nations. So what are you waiting for? Sign up today.
