We run small group training in order to equip students to take a lead in building community where God’s love is central, igniting faith is normal, reaching out creatively is a priority, and developing leaders to facilitate growth is critical. The training is based on the 4 parts of the workbook.
The spirit of the training is one of unity, fire and holiness:
Unity among churches in your city as you partner together to host the training.
The Fire of God’s Presence means the training going beyond information to an encounter that ignites faith among students. Therefore, worship and prayer are integral.
Holiness is our calling and identity, embodied in our relationship with God and others. The training will prioritise relationships with space for discussion times ensuring students connect with the heart of a relational God.
