Synergy 2020 - Discipling Within Small Groups

Is your small group 3D? Small groups are more than just connection points or fellowship groups. Every believer is called to live a 3D life (disciples discipling disciples). Small groups have the opportunity to help members grow spiritually in the context of community while also equipping them to live out the priesthood of believers within their own spheres of influence. Join us as we discuss how this can be done with some simple practices that any leader can use regardless of their level of training or experience.
