Training For Developing and Leading Small Groups DVD and guides

Small groups are essential for a thriving church!  Small fellowship groups are crucial to your church's health by contributing to members’ spiritual growth.  Healthy church ministry includes developing relationships that result in the spiritual well-being of members while growing them toward maturity and into a tangible expression of the Body of Christ.

Join Bishop Dick Wills as he shares practical insights from his experience in recruiting and training Wesley fellowship group leaders at the local church level.  This DVD is designed for churches who are seeking to train existing or potential leaders of small groups.  Viewers can expect to learn how to grow churches larger by growing them smaller.  They will learn how to be a church "of small groups" instead of a church "with small groups.”  This DVD training resource will be especially relevant for churches that have had Lay Witness Missions or are planning to do so.

His new DVD resource is a live video produced by ARM to help pastors and congregations start or expand a small group ministry in their church.

“Small groups,” says Bishop Wills, “are essential for a thriving church! Small fellowship groups are crucial to your church’s health by contributing to members’ spiritual growth…growing them toward maturity and into a tangible expression of the Body of Christ.”

He also states that, “People make this process too hard, thinking that leaders need 12 or 13 weeks training before they can begin to lead a group.”  In his successful Wesley Fellowship Group ministry at Christ UMC in Florida, he trained new leaders in a 2-3 hour session then released them into ministry.  “Most of a group leader’s training needs to be in the form of continuing education and nurture,” he says, “rather than a heavy emphasis on pre-leadership training.  Like most ministry, it is learned in the doing!”
You now have access to his leadership training.  His no nonsense, laid back style of teaching, dry humor, and impartation of practical insights and wisdom will inspire you to be a Nike leader and “just do it!”     

This is great for individual or group study.
