Leading others towards transformation through Jesus

Thank you for leading a Group!

 

Groups are essential in the life of the church, and they wouldn’t be possible without leaders like you! Thank you for being committed to growing as a follower of Jesus and the vision of biblical community here at Cross Point. As a Group Leader, you are in a position of influence in the spiritual lives of others – that’s a responsibility, but also a privilege; one that comes with great joy and a front-row seat to helping others grow in Christ-likeness.

We recognize that high calling, and want to do our best to help equip you to lead your Group well and live out the mission of helping others find and follow Jesus
