Off Terms

We encourage your groups to still meet up on a monthly basis and fellowship together.

Group Make Up

Letting other group members take ownership is a great way to get people invested. It also relieves some of the burden of the Leader, so they can focus on mentoring, preparing for the discussion, and shepherding the group. 

Leader

The Leader is the shepherd of the group. He or she facilitates group discussion, helps care for members, and raises up new leaders, allowing the group to multiply.

Host

The Host opens their home to their group weekly, ensuring that people feel welcome and comfortable in the space.

Party Coordinator

The Party Coordinator helps facilitate the food menu and plans special group bonding or serving activities. They also help coordinate monthly events during the off terms.

Care Coordinator

The Care Coordinator helps plan and communicate care for members of the group, from sending special prayer requests to organizing hospital visits to rallying the group to help a member with a project or meal or gift.

Past Discussion Guides

Unlikely Redemption

Throughout history, crisis moments trapped people in hopeless circumstances. But God used unlikely people to rescue his people. These rescuers succeeded not on their own strength or ingenuity. God was at work powerfully behind the scenes. If God can use them, He can use anyone. To prepare for Easter, we’ll explore the stories of seven human rescuers, forerunners of the ultimate coming Rescuer.

Game Changer

Commercialism and materialism are gods of our age. People earn and hoard all they can get. There is one choice we can make to break greed’s grip. Those who make that choice are set free to pursue God and his plan with their whole heart. This choice is nothing short of a game changer.
