Become a Small Group Leader
Shepherds to lead sheep towards Jesus Christ (Mark 6:34)
Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church, says, "A small group leader doesn't have to be a spiritual giant, a Bible scholar, or even a great orator. You just have to have a willing heart." Small group leaders are driving forces in guiding local artists closer to God in Jubilee Missions' weekly fellowship called "Jubilee Connect." Small group leaders do not necessarily have to be artists themselves, but they have the burden in their hearts to help guide and redeem those in the arts. Small group leaders are responsible for reaching out to prospective new members and visitors, and nurturing current members of the "Jubilee Connect" Artists Fellowship. Small groups leaders also act as liaisons to the leadership team of Jubilee Missions.
