Lisa Brenninkmeyer / 3.5 Hours
We all desire community! We all desire to be known and loved by a small group of people. However, when we think of starting a small group, we imagine the worst. Awkward silences, people looking at the door, shuffling in their seats, and eventually never coming back. This doesn’t have to be your story! Fostering a small group is the best method of discipleship. It has a dramatic impact on people’s lives, relationships, and faith. This course aims to give you the tools to confidently step out and lead these small groups without fear, awkwardness, or failure.
