Get equipped & inspired by following these dynamic Small Group Leaders this year! My original list had 17 leaders on it but has since grown to 22! While there are many more amazing leaders I could add to this list, my criteria was…
#1 Find great Small Group Leaders that I know of &/or have followed (Sorry if I’ve never heard of you!).
#2 Find Small Group Leaders that could be followed by others on Social Media somewhere.
#3 Small Group Leaders who had either written a book on the subject &/or had an active blog where they write on the subject of small groups & leadership!
