Groups don’t end they multiply!
Group leaders play a crucial role in the life of our church. They are on the frontlines of ministry, impacting our community and beyond with the transformational love of Jesus. They are shepherds to the groups they lead, cultivating and creating environments of spiritual growth and mobilizing members to lifestyles of service.
