On-Site Training
At The Groups Conference, we want to continue equipping you with resources beyond the conference. Periodically we will highlight various topics that are relevant to building, developing, and sustaining your groups as they grow.
In addition to ongoing resources, we also have specific trainings that we offer for ministries. Whether you are just starting a groups ministry or looking for specific development, we can help connect you with a variety of trainers to offer onsite sessions.
NOTE: The Groups Conference does not charge for connecting ministries to trainers/speakers; however, some trainers/speakers may have a fee. For more details, please contact us at info@thegroupsconference.com.
Some topics include:
Discovery Bible Studies: Ready to take a smaller group of people to a deeper level of accountability and prayer depth? This method finds it roots in India and Africa and is a great way to incorporate weekly accountability, reflective prayer, and obedience to Scripture in a smaller setting.
Moving Beyond: Are you ready to take your group ministry to a new level. This session walks the small group ministry leader through a process for pastors to develop and advance groups beyond meetings and Bible Studies.
Reaching Out: Struggling with reaching people outside of the church walls? In this training, the focus is on empowering churches to experiment with new forms of church life in order to reach people who are not compelled by current church forms.
Leader or Manager: Do you sometimes feel more like a manager than a leader? Learn how to help people move beyond managing details and begin leading others through relational investment, shepherding, and discipleship.
Cultivating Group Prayer: It can be difficult as a leader to move your members to pray out loud; however, it is a vital component to our faith. Learn how to utilize different methods of group prayer to encourage everyone to pray out loud regardless of where they are in their journey.
Questions that Build: Have you ever had questions that fall flat or fail to create conversations? Learn about different types of questions and how to ask them in ways that encourage deeper conversations.
Multiplication: Multiplying a group can be intimidating, so how do we approach this important season of our groups? Learn how to help your group understand the importance of multiplication while celebrating the journey they have been on together.
Personalities & Conflict: Have you had an awkward moment during group time that stemmed from conflicting personalities? Leading through these times can be difficult, but it is important to learn how to encourage growth rather than division when challenges arise.
Serving Together: When groups serve together, the relationship between members and others can become more fully connected. Learn how to encourage your group to be more service minded through various opportunities both in your community and around the world.
Writing Studies: Are you looking to develop a study specifically for your group from any passage in the Bible?
