PREPARING TO LEAD

Training Opportunities
Companions in Christ small group leaders need to learn to be good listeners, to be accepting of others, to be patient with the process of formation, and to know how to lead formationally. The Companions Leader's Guides are thoroughly written, and reading these guides may be all the training you need to guide a Companions small group. If you'd like further guidance in leading formational groups, Companions training is available.
