Mar 31
Here is some advanced information for a Small Groups Clinic which will be held at Bethany Assembly of God on Saturday, March 31,2012 from 8am – 2pm, and is sponsored by Bethany’s Fusion Forum home group ministry. The purpose of this clinic is to better equip small group leaders (in church and home groups for teens through adults), as well as potential leaders in creating greater interpersonal connection and biblical community. There will be discussion on how to grow and maintain healthy groups along with some focus on mentoring and outreach.
The clinic is entitled: “Accomplishing God’s Big Purposes through Small Groups!” This half day interactive training clinic features Tom Johnston, author and director of the Praxis Center for Church Development, church planter, and lead pastor of the Harvest Community in southern New Hampshire. Tom is a part of the Foursquare Church, and is a fellow colleague at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary.
