Teaching Topics for Spiritual Formation
Our sessions cover essential topics like prayer, forgiveness, spiritual gifts, the Holy Spirit, identity in Christ, spiritual warfare, and the Kingdom of God. We also explore healthy relationships, financial stewardship, and God’s unique design for each of us, fostering a deep, transformative journey in faith.
Group Leader Qualifications
Our group leaders are dedicated Christians who embody biblical knowledge, spiritual maturity, and a compassionate, shepherd-like heart. Leaders are encouraged to display humble yet confident leadership, promoting participation, facilitating meetings, and living righteously (1 Timothy 3:2). Guided by 1 Peter 5:2-3, leaders watch over their groups with willingness and integrity.
Leadership Development
Future leaders are mentored by current group leaders, participating in co-leading, teaching, and prayer. Once fully prepared, they may start their own groups to expand our ministry.
