Answer: The Community Leaders are members who have been chosen by Pastor O’neal to plan and manage this ministry. They are available to assist the Family Leaders and the members with any questions they may have about the process. The Family Leaders are responsible for leading a small group, maintaining the flow of group discussion, being an extension of the Senior Pastor by staying in touch with group members and praying for them, as well as seeking the Lord daily for the blessing of God on the group and its goals.
13. How can I become a Family Leader?
Answer: Pastor O’neal believes that every member has the potential to become a Family Leader. We pray that out of every Family, the member gains a desire to lead their own small group. We look for faithfulness to God and the vision, church attendance and Godly character in any Family Leader candidate. If you desire to be a Family Leader, please call your community leader so that they can give you instructions for how to join Family Care Leadership Training classes.
