Foundations of Community Group Leadership

Training for Community Group leadership necessitates a certain amount of information acquired through books, tape resources, attending a seminar, as well as skill development that is learned best on-the-job. Added to this should be a hefty dose of personal reflection—reflecting on new materials that one has been exposed to, and on experiences gained from putting the material into practice. In this regard, much of Community Group leadership is caught, not taught.

The materials below represent a starting point for learning how to be an effective Community Group intern, Community Group leader, district pastor, or area Pastor at Belmont Church. The first two sessions provide an introduction to Community Groups. The remaining thirteen sessions are topical in nature and designed to provide a brief 8-10 minute overview of the material found in the notes.
