GrowGroups Leader Guide
You don’t have to be a pastor or Bible expert to lead a GrowGroup. If you have a heart to love people, encourage others and help them grow in their relationship with Jesus, God can use you in incredible ways.

To serve as a GrowGroup Leader, you’ll need to be an Active Member of GrowPoint, faithfully live out the beliefs and values found in our GrowPoint Member Covenant and be approved by our Senior Pastoral Staff.
These resources will help you lead with confidence and create a welcoming place where people can grow in Christ, build meaningful relationships and take their next step in following Jesus.

Step One
The Rooted Experience invites your group on a transformative 10-week journey to cultivate meaningful discipleship rhythms. Along the way, Rooted creates intentional experiences that bridge the gap between Bible knowledge and personal encounters with God.
“Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:7Learn More About Rooted
We deeply value young families being part of our discipleship communities. To support this, GrowPoint subsidizes half of your group’s childcare costs.
Based on an estimated $50 per night for a childcare worker over 10 weeks ($500 total).
Reimbursement FormYour group finds its own worker. We’ll provide a list of contacts, including older GrowStudents and other adults in the church.
One group member, usually the leader or host, pays the childcare worker on the day of the gathering.
The group leader completes the digital reimbursement form and GrowPoint mails a check to the leader.
Background check required. Anyone over 18 serving as a childcare worker must have a background check on file with GrowPoint and be approved by GrowPoint leadership.
