Group Leader Resources

LIFE Group leaders play a momentous role in both the spiritual and relational development of our entire congregation. LIFE Group leaders not only host and facilitate these groups, but also serve as a shepherd to our flock by leading people down a path of spiritual maturity and church involvement. This is one of the most significant positions at LIFECHURCH, and we place an emphasis on training and equipping people in that area of leadership. The resources below are intended to be a tool for LIFE Group leaders to learn and grow so that they may be more effective leaders to those God has entrusted to them.
