Five Things Every Small Group Leader Needs from their Coach
Every Small Group Leader needs to know that their Coach…
- is their confidant, co-laborer, and friend
- is available and honored to answer practical questions about small group leadership
- is praying for them daily and proves so my connecting with the small group leader periodically via phone or face-to-face so they can hear that prayer
- understands that the small group leaders they are responsible for need one another, can learn from one another, and become better by being together, so they welcome them into their home from time to time to discuss group life, encourage one another, and celebrate what God is doing in each of their groups
- is willing to come to the group meeting and speak into the conversation when the small group leader has been unable to resolve conflict, a doctrinal discussion has become a foolish and divisive debate, when the group is in rebellion and unwilling to consider multiplication, etc…
Very nicely outlined. Definitely a good resources for those becoming coaches as well as new small group leaders to know what a coach can / should provide. Encouragement is a must.
