FOR CHURCH LEADERS

Your budget is stretched.
Your time is short.
Your to-do list is long.

Yet your work with small groups is vitally important. Two thousand years after Jesus walked this earth, small bands of followers still gather in homes, coffeehouses, work conference rooms, playgrounds, and church classrooms to experience the transformative power of community. Big change happens when we lead small. We saw it with the original apostles, and we see it today.

So, let us help you do it better. You’re constantly recruiting small group leaders. But that’s only the first step. Big Change, Small Groups equips them for what comes next.
