Leading Small Groups for Formation
Leading Small Groups for Formation: A Training Workshop
How often have you asked someone to lead a small group only to hear they don’t feel like they know how? If you’re a church staff looking to empower your teachers and volunteers, look no further. This two hour workshop combines practical application with time-tested insights into spiritual formation to provide your team with the confidence to lead.
The heart of spiritual formation is reflection, connection, and curiosity.
But how can we design small groups and classes to encourage that? This two hour video workshop will provide all the training you need to do just that. This resource includes: an interactive video broken into four modules, facilitator’s guide, and participant workbook. With minimal prep and minimal time, you can equip and empower the people in your church to host small groups in a meaningful way. We’ve made it easy for you, and we trust this will help a lot more people say YES to leading groups. And that’s a win for everyone!
Become a Formation Guide
Learn how to invite deeper questions, investigate resources, create reflective space, and encourage good conversation. Each module will offer practical, simple steps to transition from a “sage on the stage” to a “guide on the side” format. Participants will leave with not only a better understanding of what spiritual formation is, but the tools to put them into practice. Participants will learn: how to choose resources well, create questions from any resource, how to lead a Bible study, how to create a class rhythm, and how to open and close gatherings. They’ll learn what questions best support formational conversation, and how to handle things like time constraints and workload. From questions as simple as “How do I set up the room?” to “How in the world do I write a Bible study?!” we’ve got you covered.
