URBAN CONNECT GROUP LEADERS TRAINING
JULY-AUGUST 2012
FOR NEW LEADERS
Goal – to train new leaders so they are ready to participate in an Urban Connect group with a leader who will model the healthy group life that we are seeking.
Vision – How does this help the vision of the church?
Urban Connect groups are vital to the vision of the church and are a big part of assisting us to accomplish what our vision is.
For many of you – you are becoming a leader by taking this training.
It’s taking a step up. Choosing to be different. You will choose to act differently, to have different values, to take responsibility.
Becoming a leader happens when:
- You believe you are called.
- You receive inspiration from a visionary leader.
- You are discipled to help you grow.
You are here today because we have invited you to become a leader.
How is a leader different to another person in the church?
What are the behaviours of a leader?
List them out on the White Board
WEEK 1
What is leadership? – Influence.
Luk 9:57 And it occurred that as they were going along the road, a man said to Him, Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.
Luk 9:58 And Jesus told him, Foxes have lurking holes and the birds of the air have roosts and nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.
Luk 9:59 And He said to another, Become My disciple, side with My party, and accompany Me! But he replied, Lord, permit me first to go and bury (await the death of) my father.
Luk 9:60 But Jesus said to him, Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and publish abroad throughout all regions the kingdom of God.
Luk 9:61 Another also said, I will follow You, Lord, and become Your disciple and side with Your party; but let me first say good-bye to those at my home.
Luk 9:62 Jesus said to him, No one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back [to the things behind] is fit for the kingdom of God.
These people became disciples, that’s not even being a leader.
What did you learn from these verses about what Jesus asks of you?
If you choose to become a leader in this church by taking the role of Urban Connect leader there are some important choices we will ask you to make.
- Receive inspiration from the visionary leader – come to HUB
- Work on becoming a soul winner
- Your financial giving reflects your passion for the vision.
Why do churches have small groups?
