Do you launch 'em and leave 'em?

Everyone knows that it's important to train small group leaders.

But what does your church do to support and sustain those same leaders week after week?

If small group leaders are going to make an impact on the lives of others, they've got to be experiencing life-change themselves!

According to small group experts Cloud and Donahue, "Providing care, accountability, development and support for small group leaders is essential."

This month on the Groups That Grow training series you can learn what churches - and leaders - can do to ensure that their small group leaders continue to grow in both skill and character.

In the practical broadcast, small group leaders and pastors will learn how to inspire life-change:

• Build a network of support and accountability
• Create opportunities for spiritual renewal
• Provide ongoing training and resources

So, the next time you discuss the growth of small groups at your church, don't forget the growth of your leaders!

Join us for this important program and discover the keys to Coaching Life-Changing Leaders.
