Like to lead a group?
Do you feel like God is asking you to step out in leadership? The call to lead is a great thing and we thank God for those who step into positions of leadership. For many, it starts by leading a Connect Group and we’d love to explore that with you. Hopefully, you’re already in a group and spoken to your leader but if you not, let us know and we’ll help you along the way.
