Leader Resources

We all know the important role that Groups can play in our lives. They foster and encourage spiritual growth as they create community, but for any Group to be successful, the Group Leader needs support, encouragement and (of course) resources.

Leading isn't easy...

Serving as a Group Leader can be both rewarding and challenging. There is a lot of preparation, planning, time and energy that goes into any leadership role, but leading a group of Christians as they grow and develop spiritually is no small task. The subjects tend to be deep and the discussion thought-provoking. Hurts, fears, hang-ups and frustrations are often shared and a lot of time is spent in prayer (both public and private) and quiet contemplation. 

As a Group Leader, you will find yourself both energized and exhausted, humbled and awed, challenged and encouraged... but the reward of fellowship and life-long friendship, of seeing how God uses each member of your group to uplift and support one another is a miracle unto itself. It is an experience that will change you.

We get it, and we want to do everything we can to support you. Our goal is to equip you with some of the resources you need to lead — study materials, information on discipleship and/or leadership training, help with Realm and information about RightNow Media.

As more resources become available, we will add that information here. If you have any questions, please contact Patti Remaklus or Austin Seevers.

Sermon Study Guides

Core52

Most of us want to know the Bible better, but few reach our goal, often because we’re too busy or we don’t know where to start. Core52 removes both barriers, offering a common-sense solution that fits into our busy lives. Respected Bible professor and teaching pastor Mark E. Moore developed this proven process from thirty-five years of helping people grow deeper in God’s Word.

Each week features a brief essay, memory verse, Bible story, trajectory verses, and practical ways to put what you’ve learned into practice. An optional “Overachiever Challenge” offers the chance to memorize the top 100 Bible verses by year’s end. If you’re looking to really grow spiritually in 2022, this is a great way to do it!

This simple approach allows you to become familiar with the big ideas of the Bible in less time and with less effort than other reading plans. In one year (for only about 15 minutes a day), you can master the core of the Bible—focusing on topics from God’s will to worry, happiness to holiness, and leadership to love. These fifty-two core passages are lenses through which you can read the rest of the Bible with clarity and confidence.

Our churchwide Bible study will run throughout 2022.
