How To Find And Keep New People

If you are a new leader or have never attended a Northridge Group Leader Training, you should listen to this breakout. We'll go over the responsibilities and requirements of leading as well as the practical nitty gritty of leading your group each week.

New Leader Breakout

We've been married for 44 years and mentoring couples for the past 18, including leading the Art of Marriage courses at Northridge. We know from experience that marriage is hard and we've walked alongside many struggling couples in group. Not sure where to start in helping the marriages in your group? We'll explore that in our breakout.

Helping Marriages in Community Groups and Beyond

Maybe you feel like you have been leading alone for a while? Or maybe you would like to multiply someday but never seem to have enough leaders to pull it off? This breakout provides practical information on how to find the next great leaders for your community group! Most leaders try to develop the best strategy while the best leaders are obsessed with empowering the right people.

What is better, groups open to new people or closed?

Should groups multiply or is that bad for us? Does multiplication hurt community and kill relationships, or is the opposite true? 

Multiplication is hard and most of us don't want to do it. 

As Northridge Church has experienced growth, we need to create room for more people in groups. 

In this teaching from our Fall 2023 Group Leader Training, Jason DeGraaff shares the vision for why we need to provide Community For Everyone by opening our groups to new people, developing leaders, starting new groups, and multiplying existing groups.

While you are honored by the opportunity to be a group leader, you may feel overwhelmed with the thought of connecting with everyone in your group.

Who has capacity for that?

Your goal as group leader is not to have everyone connected to you, but connected to each other.

So how do we do that? 

Jason DeGraaff (Community Groups Director) addresses these questions and gives 6 practical ways we can help our group members connect. 

This teaching took place at our Re:Group Leader Training on February 4th, 2024 at the Webster Campus of Northridge Church.

How do we get our group members to drop the mask, be honest about who they are, and how they are really doing?

We want to lead our groups to be a safe place for people to be known for who they are not for who they project to be.

Until we drop the mask, we'll never experience true community.

Jason DeGraaff (Community Groups Director), Brad Files, Kristen Jamison and Ally Pearson addresses this tension and talk about how to get your group to open up and be real.

This teaching took place at our Re:Group Leader Training on February 2nd, 2025 at the Rochester Campus of Northridge Church.
