Small Group Life

Envisioning – Equipping – Experiencing

Welcome to our Small Group Leader Training and Development page.

This page is dedicated to any Christian who wants to learn how to build and participate in God-honoring, sanctification-building small groups.

On this page you will find many helpful resources to assist you in building and sustaining a small group that can change lives.

Your people will be envisioned and equipped so they can experience comprehensive sanctification in small group contexts.

Your Training Notes

Rick has developed teaching notes for you. They are in full-color and ready to print and distribute for your small group leaders for training. You are encouraged to print these off and give to your leaders. Also be sure to share these notes with other friends and ministry partners.

Click Envision-Equip-Experience, hit the printer, and pass out to your team members.

Your Training Manual

Rick has developed a 100-page, 27,000 word eBook on how to build dynamic small groups. In this concise and practical book, Rick gives biblical advice to help Christians develop a stronger, more meaningful small group.

If you’re in a small group, or are thinking of starting one, you will be able to use this instructive guide to enhance your small group experience.

It is not only helpful in your leadership training, but group participants will also learn how to experience a dynamic group life as they gain clarity on their roles and expectations.

“Small Group Life” is an invaluable tool to help men’s groups, women’s groups, and all groups spur one another on to a greater depth of love and affection for our Savior.

Your Video Library

Rick has developed several short video training presentations that you can show to your small group leaders, as well as other ministry leaders in your church.

We also recommend that you share these videos with your small group members so they, too, can be envisioned and equipped, with the hope of having dynamic small group experiences.

This first video was not developed by Rick, but it does give a humorous perspective on what you do not want to do in your small group.
