 Growth Circles

  • This class is designed to equip Circle Class Leaders with the vision, relational skills, and leadership principles needed to foster meaningful connections and spiritual growth. Together, we will explore the purpose (why) of leadership, the content (what) to focus on, the format (how) we engage others, and the outcomes (results) we aim to achieve. By the end of this course, Leaders will: 1. Strengthen their personal and spiritual vision for leadership. 2. Develop practical relational skills to build stronger, more authentic connections. 3. Apply key leadership principles that empower others within their circles. 4. Gain confidence in leading groups that grow together in faith and community. Our goal is to build solid relationships and connect deeply with others as we grow in faith together.
