This is a seven-part Lesson where Student(s) will be introduced to the core elements of building and sustaining a spiritually formative, well‑structured, and effectively led small group. Students explore how spiritual formation happens in community, what makes a small group dynamic and healthy, and how leadership practices shape group culture, engagement and transformation. The Lesson blends Biblical principles, historical models and practical strategies used across various faith traditions.
Small groups are one of the most effective environments for spiritual growth, accountability and leadership development. Understanding how to cultivate spiritual formation, create healthy structure, and lead with integrity equips Students to participate in, or facilitate groups that are transformative rather than passive. This Lesson helps learners develop the skills and mindset needed to build communities marked by trust, purpose and spiritual depth.
