LDG is an invitation-only group experience designed to help individuals grow and lead spiritually at home, work, and in the church. The emphasis of this group is on spiritual development, not practical leadership skills. Our hope is for each person to:

• Better develop a thriving relationship with God that’s worth replicating

• Be intentionally tracking with other people who desire to be known and grow spiritually

• Gain a better understanding of who God is and who he created you to be

Commitment

• Meeting once a month (three-hour sessions) for nine months

LDG Placement Process

• Leader Development Groups are assimilated based on application responses, church engagement, and availability.

• We offer Men’s and Women's groups. If you are a married couple, and want to participate at the same time, you would need to apply for separate groups.

• On the application, you will identify what days of the week and times you are available to meet.

• At the kickoff event, the group will schedule the next eight months of meetings based on the day and time that was selected on the application.
