Welcome! We’re so glad that you’re interested in becoming a small group leader! Group Life exists to foster Christ-centered communities, where every person of Willow Creek can belong to a small group and be supported as a follower of Jesus. The Group Life team is committed to helping your group thrive as you live out what we call “The 4 C’s”. We believe a healthy, Christ-centered Small Group thrives when it displays a combination of these 4 components:
CONNECTION | COMMITMENT | CONFESSION | CHALLENGE
This October, our entire congregation is joining together to learn and grow through our upcoming series, Journey through Daniel. These groups will meet live on Zoom every Wednesday night for 5 weeks. Registration to lead a small group through Journey is now open!
