LDG is a unique group experience designed for people who are currently leading in our 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

Curriculum

Topics include Who is God?, Telling Your Story, Holy Spirit, Identity in Christ, Character, Spiritual Growth, Understanding the Bible, and Purpose. Each topic will include assignments to complete prior to the group meeting (books, videos, podcasts, reflection questions, etc.). The time commitment is estimated to be 30 minutes a day to prepare for each meeting.
