Small group ministry is one of the most vital opportunities for
Christian growth that any church offers its leaders. Growing Small
Groups, hosted by The Youth and Family Institute, will equip you with
the best skills and resources to insure a meaningful and enjoyable
experience in your group. Growing Groups is an education of the heart
for those who want to help others talk and learn about how an active
faith applies to real living. Growing Groups is more than a "How-to"
teachers/leaders training, because faith is passed on through trusted
personal relationships. The training is from 8:30am - 5:00pm. The cost
is $60.00 per participant (includes: training, manual, breakfast, and
lunch). Please reserve your spot no later than August 13th to assure we
have enough space and resources for everyone.
