Body Builders

What makes a small group grow into a life-changing, powerful community?

While there are many factors, the most important is the leader.  Small group leaders must not only know how to lead discussion, but also how to draw out the best in people, shepherd the group, equip new leaders, ask excellent questions, lead with purpose and direction, and help people to truly learn and grow closer to Christ.

Body Builders is an interactive training course designed to equip and empower teachers, cell group leaders, Bible study leaders, discussion leaders...anyone who leads or facilitates meetings on a small group level.  The course builds upon many of the principles and tools of Bridge Builders, a pre-requisite course in relational skills.  Body Builders also helps participants sharpen their communication skills in large and small groups.
