Are you a small group leader or have been invited to be one for the women's ministry at your church? Small groups provide a great opportunity for women to grow in their faith and to experience authentic, loving relationships with other believers. Your role as a leader of a women's small group is to maximize both opportunities for all participants, including yourself. Women are best equipped for small group ministry through regular training and resources in the "how-to's" of ministry to other believers. The key is to stay Christ-focused and loving Him while doing so. Be a Christ-Focused Small Group Leader" will show you how. Follow 6 C's as you lead. Begin with "Christ Is Our Focus." Then, learn how to bring Christ-Like Character, Commitment, Community, Content, and Commission to your small group.

The ideas in this handbook have been developed by those who have spent years being small group leaders to women. This book is useful for individual use, and it is a resource that any small group ministry can use to train its leaders. Take to heart these suggestions and become the Christ-focused leader your small group needs you to be. Your group will be blessed by this approach.
