LEAD A GROUP
So you want to lead a small group Bible study? But you’re wondering, “What do I do? What will I teach? Can I really do this?” Sure you can!
.
The success of any small group starts with the leader. Effective leaders are not teachers or lecturers. They are facilitators and catalysts whose primary job is to get people to interact with each other.
.
