Point Leader Networks

Networking opportunities for congregation Groups Ablaze! Point Leaders are held regularly.  Currently, two groups are meeting - one in the Rockford area and one in the western suburban area.

Senior Pastor / Point Leader

Tune-up

For Groups Ablaze!  to be successful, it is critical for the pastor and the small groups Point Leader to be "on the same page." Therefore, the NID will provide a yearly “tune-up” event specifically designed for those two individuals.

Congregation

Based Training

Some training is best done at the congregational level.  A trained faculty of small group practitioners will be available to lead one-day workshops in your congregation.

Online Leader Training

Watch for online leader training!  It's in the works, and we'll share the information as the programs are developed.
