Small Groups

Customized Team Consulting

Sermon-based small groups are the hub of ministry at North Coast Church.  Take a behind the scenes look at what keeps our small groups ministry thriving at this two day workshop.

About This Workshop

North Coast Church pioneered the Sermon-Based Small Groups model and currently has over 90% of regular attenders involved in a small group.  At this customized consulting session, you’ll have an behind the scenes look at our successes and failures over 20 years of navigating Small Groups.  Your team will walk away with the practical knowledge and tools needed to increase your small group participation and grow your church.  Content is presented by North Coast Senior Pastor Larry Osborne, and our team of seasoned Small Groups Pastors.  This workshop is perfect for ministries of any size looking to switch to a sermon-based model, or simply revitalize and grow their groups.

Team Requirement

In order to be truly effective, we ask that each team attending this consulting session bring at least 4 people, including your Senior Pastor.  We have found that processing this content together and collaborating as a team will exponentially multiply its effectiveness.

If you would like a completely private session the investment starts at $2,500. If group sessions are available, the investment started at $1750 per team of 4. Additional attendees will be billed at $350 each.
