LEADER RESOURCES

So Christ [gave church leadership] to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature... ~ Ephesians 4:11-13

We are very grateful for our current leaders and always eager to see God raise up new leadership and disciplers. Strong, equipped, and envisioned leadership is crucial in order for us to do what God has called us to. So, we want to be here for you every step of the way. You are not alone in your efforts in leading, serving, and discipling.

To this end, the following page is just for you; and it is dedicated to giving you resources that will better equip your leadershership. Updates will be added on an ongoing basis.

  • For CGHosts:

    The purpose of hosting within the rhythms of your CG is to provide a safe and hospitable place to enjoy community. You need to consider the space, food, lighting, seating, greeting, clean up and a host (pardon the pun) of other factors. CGLeaders, please be sensitive to the demands of the host and be sure to clue the community into those demands so you can share the burden. Proper thought into rhythms can alleviate some of that burden as well. Hosts should be reminded that simple is good, to ask for and receive help, and to find your identity in Jesus not the presentation of their home.
