START A COMMUNITY GROUP
We're excited that you are considering leading a Community Group. Your "yes" to leading a group will allow adults to find and follow Jesus together. We've made the steps to starting and leading a Community Group at NMC simple.
1. Understand the commitment and objective of a Community Group Leader. The aim is to lead a group of adults of 12 or fewer people in biblical community for a semester. Click here to see the Community Group Leader Description.
2. Apply to become a Community Group Leader by clicking here. But before you lead 10 or 12 people, we want to get to know you and hear your story!
3. Attend our New Community Group Leader Training and ongoing quarterly training. You'll learn about the details and best practices for leading a group.
4. Determine what your group will study for the semester. For example, the content for your group could be the discussion questions from the Sunday messages that NMC creates, a study from the NMC library on RightNow Media, or an approved book.
5. Smile! We'll snap your photo and write a group bio to post online on our Community Groups page. This is how potential group members will find your group.
6. Connect with group members and those interested in your group. Those who are interested in joining your group can contact you by completing an interest form. As a group leader, you are responsible for connecting with the interested parties and their group members. We ask that you reach out to the potential group member within two days of them submitting an interest form. The group will remain open and listed on the NMC website until the semester is over or when the group is full (12 members max).
7. Lead your group. Meet with and lead your group over the 13-week semester.
8. Finish the Semester Together. Although this is only a 13-week commitment, we do encourage groups to consider carrying on into additional semesters.
