Return to the Apprentice Training Plan.
The Apprentice Training Plan will take you through five modules of training in the postures and sensibilities required for healthy community group leadership. Each training has an explanation of the requirement for community group leadership, a list of assignments, and an opportunity for self-reflection. PDFs for each reading assignment are provided. As you complete each module in the training plan, you will follow up with your community group leader for further conversation.
Each training module has an accompanying training tool (something to read), and self-assessment tool (something to write and turn in online).
You will automatically receive a copy of whatever you submit online, which you can then forward to whomever is walking alongside you. Inviting others into your training and development will dramaticallly increase the benefit.
Potential leaders: Perhaps you are interested in becoming a community group leader someday, but you're unsure of how to prepare. You are welcome to begin working through the Leadership Library on your own. Invite someone from your community group to meet with you and give you feedback as you go. We encourage you to both share and apply what you are learning with others.
Current leaders who want to develop future leaders: Or perhaps you are a community group leader or hub leader who sees leadership potential in someone in your group or hub, but you are unsure of how to aid them in their development. You might invite them to meet you for coffee once a month, and process and pray over one skill from the Leadership Library each time you meet. Encourage them to forward you a copy of their completed self-assessments prior to your meetings so you can pray and reflect on their answers beforehand.
Whenever a future potential leader is ready to begin formal evaluation and assessment prior to being released into leadership, they should begin working through the five-step leadership launch process.
If you have any further questions about this apprenticeship training plan, don't hesitate to e-mail J. J. Seid, Frontline's Leadership Development Pastor. Otherwise, feel free to jump in and begin the process!
