Hi everyone, Peter Bowden with quick lab training update!

Growth Groups Session

The replay of our recent live session on Growth Groups is available in our member area: Growth Group Live Replay

We covered a lot of territory including identifying a need for more foundations of small group ministry, and how relationships and group dynamics can inhibit growth.

I am weaving content based on these articulated challenges, questions, and associated dynamics into our enhanced training.

It will be posted in our member area later this week.
