The role you play as a Small group leader makes these stories possible and the stories of those in your group are currently being written. Be encouraged-you are making a real difference! This month, Ruth tracks down some of the team in the office to ask them how being part of a small group has shaped their lives, strengthened their faith, and made an impact.

“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Let’s be real—no one steps into small group leadership without a genuine care for people.

The culture of a small group begins before a single word is spoken. How? Atmosphere.

Zach and Matt chat about the power of atmosphere and how we can create a welcoming space for those attending our small groups.
Being there for others is a beautiful thing, but in our desire to help, it’s easy to let our own boundaries slip. In this episode, Ruth and Sarah explore how to establish and maintain healthy boundaries.
We do what we do out of our love for God and our love for people. Naturally, when you’re caring for others, there are moments when the pastoral load can feel heavy. In this episode, Ruth and Zach talk about how to navigate and manage the demands of pastoral care while leading a small group.
As Small Group leaders, we’re passionate about helping people grow and take their next step—but how do we actually help to guide them there? In this podcast, Ps Matt and Ps Ruth explore practical ways to support people in discovering and moving toward their next step.
