Creating Authentic Groups in an Unpredictable World
Virtual Workshop | Wednesday, May 6, 2026 | 11:30AM-1:00PM PST
As followers of Jesus, we're designed to be connected to receive the encouragement and support we need to follow Jesus and reach others. Yet, there remain so many still dealing with isolation finding it difficult to be real about life's issues and our present-day challenges, even in their small group. Join North Coast Groups Pastor Dave Enns as he shares their best practices on how to train your leaders to offer groups that build trust and safety to be real about the many issues we're facing today while keeping the power of God's spirit and his word at the center.
