LIFE GROUP LEADERS!
Thank you for your “yes” in leading a Life Group!
Below is a list of many resources that you are strongly encouraged to use as content for Life Groups. These are the default resources. If you have taken a look at the list and decide another resource is best for your group, please let Brisa know beforehand. This is helpful for us to know what content is being shared, and it gives us a chance to purchase resources for your group if needed.
