Helping Small Group Leaders Get Started

It's always exciting to get new volunteers, but if you don't have a plan in place to train them, they might fall through the cracks. This material will walk you through the process of training and equipping new leaders in hands-on, practical ways that will prepare them to be successful leaders in your ministry. This tool is adapted from "How to Help Small Group Leaders Get Started," a PromiseLand Conference workshop by Susan Shadid. PromiseLand is a ministry of the Willow Creek Association.
