This BRAND NEW Small Groups Tele-Coaching Network is an 8 month relationship-based coaching network for Small Group Pastors and other staff pastors seeking to learn how to effectively implement a semester-based small groups system at their church that allows them increase small group participation, develop new small group leaders and multiply life-change in their church.
The heart of the Network is found in a group of small group pastors talking together monthly over the phone for 2 hours – focused on taking small groups in their respective churches to the next level.
Kerrick Thomas will lead this Small Groups Coaching Network monthly – along with Adam Bishop, the Small Groups Pastor at The Journey Church. Kerrick is the Executive Pastor and a Teaching Pastor at The Journey Church.
He is also the co-author of Launch: Starting a New Church from Scratch and Activate: A Brand New Way to Do Small Groups, regularly leads coaching networks for church planters, executive pastors, small group pastors and teaches church leadership seminars with Nelson Searcy. Kerrick was part of the launch of The Journey Church in New York City in 2002. By 2008, The Journey has grown to over 1,100 attending each Sunday with 1,300+ in small groups.
- The Coaching Network will consist of 5 or more approved Small Group Pastors.
- The network will cover the 12 Big Small Group Ideas and the 4 F’s of Implementing an Effective Small Group Ministry. Learnings will include how to get over 100% of your regular Sunday attendance signed up for small groups, how to multiply your small group leaders, how to mobilize your small groups for ministry and mission and how to create the best small group environment for spiritual growth and godly relationships.
