Thanks so much for serving on the WEDNESDAY NIGHT Student Impact team. On Wednesday nights, we lead students to own their faith and take their next step with Jesus.
As a small group leader, you play a vital role in our vision to build relationships that build disciples. Through Bible study, small group discussion, worship, and building relationships, students are welcomed and encouraged to connect, have fun, and grow.
Every time you lead, you will:
Create Safe, Welcoming Environments that help students feel welcomed and have a sense of belonging. Before we can influence students. We must first earn their trust. In a sense, we must earn the right to be heard. Once students feel a sense of belonging, they can begin to grow in their faith and take their next steps.
Connect with Students and Families. Because relationships drive everything that we do, we hope that leaders connect personally with every student in their group by learning their name and including them in all group activities.
We also partner with parents to lead their students to know and love Jesus. We never try to replace parents in their role of leading their students. Because they are the primary faith trainers of their family, we want to encourage parents and walk alongside them.
Coordinate Fun Activities. Fun is one of the ways that we meet students at their level. We do this by enjoying time in our rec spaces. Having fun together is a great way for you to learn more about your students and for the connections in your group to deepen.
Cultivating Growth as a Disciple. On Wednesdays, we cultivate spiritual growth through Bible study, small group connection, and worship. Small Group connection is essential to owning their faith and taking their next steps with Jesus. It's in the small group that their relationships deepen and they have time to process and apply what they are learning.
Growth happens over time as students mature personally and spiritually. Your consistency in leading them is key. So, prioritize your time to lead the group, celebrate small wins along the way, and watch God work!
Thanks again for leading and making a difference in the life of our church! And remember, we are here for you to help you win as a leader!
