Becoming a Community Life Group Leader

The normal and natural way for a person to become a CommunityLife Leader is to serve as an apprentice leader in an existing CommunityLife Group. A complementary route to becoming a leader is to participate in a small group specifically for the development of potential leaders. We call this a Turbo Group. First, check out the criteria and commitments of leaders here. If this sounds like you, one option is to get involved in an existing group where you can get some experience leading as an apprentice. You can also check here for the next Turbo Group.

What is “Re-Group”?

Helping a small group of people to experience authentic Christian community is not an easy task. In the past, most efforts to equip leaders of small groups has centered on providing the vision of what a group should be about and to impart specific “process skills” to leaders for facilitating groups.

The Next Turbo Group

Our plan is to run one or two Turbo Groups per year, as needed. The typical way for leaders to be trained will be through participation in an existing CommunityLife group as an apprentice leader. If you are interested in learning more about the plans for the next Turbo Group, please email Pastor Peter ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Turbo Groups

Turbo Groups are one of the ways we train new CommunityLife Leaders and co-leaders. They are also an excellent method for exposing potential leaders to the routines and requirements of a CommunityLife group in order for participants to assess their willingness and capability for the role. A Turbo Group is a relatively short-term (hence turbo) small group that allows participants to learn and discuss small group leadership skills in the context of a small group.
