Tools for Small Group Leaders
Welcome to the Tools for Small Group Leaders page of our church's
website. Here we will keep you informed of resources that will
not only help you lead your group, but also provide you with tools
for your own personal growth as a leader. This section of the
website is JUST FOR YOU, the small group leader.
We will continually be developing and adding resources to this page, so be sure to check back often. Also, if you find certain resources especially helpful and effective in your ministry as a small group leader, please be sure to pass them along.
Pastor Randy Odom is always available to support you in your ministry as a small group leader.
