Developed to provide a solid grounding in the essentials, think of SGM101 (SGM101) as the foundation for next-level leadership in small group ministry.
While I've built an extensive online video course library, this is the first course I've offered that truly assumes the need for a basic foundational understanding of small group ministry.
Who needs this course? I think there are two main groups:
- New small group pastors and directors often need help understanding the big picture and will benefit greatly from SGM101.
- Small group ministry practitioners leading plateaued or struggling ministries (plateaus can often be explained by misunderstandings of one or more basic concepts or practices).
Here’s what you’ll gain:
