To become a small group leader

A cell leader is an individual who the church has entrusted to connect, support, engage, and encourage those within and outside a group. He/she is the key to pastoring a large church of people.

The prerequisites are flexible but will aid us in gauging the readiness of potential new leaders. The path a new leader will follow includes:

Step 1 – Knowing God

    •  believe in Jesus Christ as God’s son and as your Savior
    •  attend a Bridges worship venue on a regular basis

Step 2 – Knowing the Church

    •  attend the Bridges membership class
    •  sign the Bridges membership covenant

Step 3 – Participating in Community

    •  attend a Bridges cell group a minimum of one semester

Step 4 – Preparing to Lead

    •  attend and complete the Cell Leader Skills Course
       (offered in October and February)
    •  act as an apprentice to your current cell leader
    •  complete staff interview, submit 3 recommendations, and sign a covenant

Step 5 – Leading Community

    •  start a new cell group

Potential leaders may enter the path at any point but it is recommended that they follow this sequence in order to maximize their learning curve.
