Small Group Training

Small Group Training – Winter/Spring 2013

Instructor: Rev. Will Spokes, Minister of Outreach

---

This winter and spring I will be leading a four-part training for members of Tenth Church who want to learn how to study the bible and/or lead a small group bible study. The format of the training will be a combination of teaching and discussion. Some segments require a bit more teaching while others will allow for more group interaction. There are four parts to the training:

Session 1: January 19 - 10 AM to 12 PM in Delancey 1W

-       The first hour: The Big Picture – Small Groups at Tenth

-       The second hour: What is the Gospel?

Session 2: February 16 - 10 AM to 12 PM in Delancey 1W

-       The first hour: Gospel Hermeneutics – A framework for biblical interpretation

-       The second hour: Gospel Hermeneutics – How to interpret different sections of scripture

Session 3: March 16 - 10 AM to 12 PM in Delancey 1W

-       The first hour: How to study a passage of scripture – finding the main point

-       The second hour: How to study a passage of scripture – writing good questions

Session 4: April 13 - 10 AM to 12 PM in Delancey 1W

-       The first hour: Cultivating a gospel culture in your small group

-       The second hour: Principles for a healthy small group

In order to get the most out of the training it is important to try to make all four sessions. If you are not able to make all four sessions, I will try to provide notes or audio for the sessions you miss. From time to time I may pass on an article to read in connection with what we are studying. In addition there will likely be some “homework” in anticipation of session three.

If you are interested in participating please email me at wspokes@tenth.org and I will make sure you are included on all future communication related to this training opportunity.

I look forward to being with!

Sincerely,

Will Spokes
