This Lent, embrace the opportunity to connect your congregation with God and one another through intentional small groups. The Lenten Small Group Project offers pastors and church leaders the tools and resources to successfully lead a four to five-week small group experience that fosters discipleship, accountability, and spiritual growth.
Let this season be the start of something lasting—deep connections with Christ and one another that inspire growth far beyond Lent and Easter. Sign up today and begin this meaningful journey with us!
From Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025, to Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, we are offering three unique small group tracks that will inspire reflection, growth, and connection. See the website below for more detailed resources.
1. A Journey Through Scripture: Bible Knowledge Track
Dive deep into scripture and gain a richer understanding of the Bible. This track is designed for those who want to explore biblical teachings in a structured and thought-provoking way. Groups in this track will study key Lenten scriptures, drawing connections to the broader story of God's love and redemption.
2. A Journey in Spiritual Growth: Spiritual Formation Track
Lent is a time to grow closer to God through prayer, reflection, and spiritual practices. This track emphasizes spiritual disciplines such as prayer and meditation. Participants will explore ways to deepen their faith and integrate spiritual practices into their daily lives.
3. Wellspring Journey: Creativity Track
This track will encourage participants to use art, writing, music, or other creative ways to reflect on the Lenten season. This is a wonderful opportunity to engage people who may feel more connected to faith through creative expression.
Whether you’re a seasoned leader or guiding a group for the first time, this training will guide you to create a welcoming, hospitable space where participants can engage with the means of grace in community.
