Group Leader Application

Thank you for your interest in leading a new group in our church! Ephesians 4:11-12 says, "And [the Lord] gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ." Refresh Community Church Leaders and Staff seek to empower our members to do that very work of ministry. We are thankful for the ways the Lord is leading you to build up the body of Christ at our church.

Life Groups: Life-on-life discipleship communities that meet regularly for prayer, Scripture, mutual accountability, and spiritual formation through trusted relationships rather than formal teaching.
Care Groups: Short- to mid-term support groups designed to offer spiritual encouragement and community to individuals navigating specific life challenges such as grief or addiction.
Connect Groups: Affinity-based groups built around shared interests or life stages that foster relational connection and serve as onramps into deeper discipleship like Life Groups.

Specific Group Information

This helps us know how to best support your group launch.

Life Groups are expected to meet in person 2-4 times each month. For example, your group might meet every other week (2x/month), three times a month with a break during the last week, or weekly (4x/month).

While the church is not currently able to provide childcare workers, we do offer a partial reimbursement process to support groups with expressed and assessed need. We expect you to make your own childcare arrangements. If you are interested, we'll follow up with next steps.
