One of the joys of leading a small group is that you can always be learning and improving. Whether you're just beginning to lead a group or you've been doing it for years, there are predictable stages and steps in leading. If you're a pastor responsible for developing small group leaders or a leader desiring to grow and develop, plan to be part of Henry Cloud's CCN series on Groups that Grow as we explore becoming a small group leader who helps change lives.

Dr. Henry Cloud has a vision: a global network of small groups tethered to vibrant, growth-oriented, outwardly focused churches.

Within small groups, the real life of the church unfolds as members experience, develop, and pass on the character qualities of Jesus. Through this model comes growth both individuals and for the church.

If this is a vision you share or would just like to explore join Dr. Cloud for a series of evening seminars designed to train, encourage, and multiply small group leaders to develop healthy groups.

With a creative and varied format utilizing video case studies, special guests, role-playing, and hands-on learning, Dr. Cloud will guide group leaders through:

• Principles that produce authentic change in people's lives
• Ingredients of groups that create an environment for personal growth and transformation
• Roles and responsibilities of an effective leader

In addition to leaders, small group members will also benefit from this in-depth look at what they can and should expect from their groups.

Dr. Cloud believes that small groups are the future of the church, and that a church with thriving small groups is a church that grows. Learn how you can make it happen in your church.
