Here at New Vintage Church we are committed to closing the back door of our church. That includes a large emphasis on community groups. Periodically we will be posting training material on this blog to help create the best community group experience possible. Thank you for your service.

There are always going to be times when our community groups need to step up and help people in your groups. Watch this video to help learn how and when we should step in to help. Click to download page 1 and page 2 of the corresponding notes.

One of the most difficult things to deal with as a group leader is when a group member experiences a major loss in their life. Helping people through the grieving process can be a very difficult and trying time for a group, but it can also be a time when some of the most significant ministry happens. In this video, Judy Wolfe, a professional counselor, helps us better understand what to expect when someone experiences a major loss and how to best help them through it. It is very helpful information that will help you lead your group in some of the most difficult times you face together.
