RE:GROUP
In August we are excited to introduce a new GroupLife Leadership Gathering called RE:GROUP.
When is it?
RE:GROUP is designed to meet three times a year: Late summer, Early winter, Early Spring.
What will I experience?
Fellowship
- Dinner or refreshment are provided, as a small token of appreciation for your work as a group leader
- This is an opportunity to reconnect with your peers and meet new ones
Inspiration
- Main session: featuring a speaker addressing the evening’s topic. August 5: Lead Pastor Merle Mees, talking about “The Margin for Transformation.” November 4: Guest Speaker Lance Witt, talking “Replenish”
- We know you will walk away feeling inspired and challenged!
Skill Development
- All sessions are highly practical, but we seek to make this event the most useful possible in your own walk with Christ and in your leadership capacity. This may include breakout sessions, labs, or peer-learning environments covering a variety of topics.
Who is it for?
- All current Community Group leaders at PV and their spouses
- Your apprentice leader who may be nearly ready to begin leading a Community Group
- All current Student Home Group leaders, Children’s Ministry Shepherds, Starting Point leaders and Support Group facilitators
- All Community Directors
*Because RE:GROUP will only meet three times a year, all group leaders are expected to make every effort to be at all three gatherings throughout the year. Though you will need to provide your own childcare for the evening, reimbursement vouchers will be available at this event to help offset the cost to those for whom that might be a barrier. Contact Betty for details or questions.
Why the change?
Because Community Groups are the primary disciple-making environment at PV, as a staff, our commitment is to support, encourage and equip you in the best way possible. We want to provide the highest quality resources and equipping we can to ensure you’re able to effectively and skillfully shepherd the group of people God has placed in your care. For some time, we’ve done that through monthly Leaders Roundtable meetings; however, of the 10 or so times LRT meets in a year not every leader is going to be able to attend every meeting. Likewise, attempting to address in one meeting, 100 or so leaders who are all across the spectrum in experience, group-type, maturity, and theological development, will only continue to be less and less effective.
Be on the lookout for more information in the days to come!
