Leader Priorities During the Pandemic (Season 1, Episode 1)

The Coronavirus Pandemic has forced us all to think differently about how we do small groups. What are the immediate needs during this crisis? We'll take a look at some priorities for leading through this pandemic.

Welcome to the Great Groups Podcast! Our goal is to equip Small Group Leaders at Brook Hills and beyond to make disciples effectively. Hosted by Jay Gordon, with co-host Chris Amaro. Jay leads the Small Groups Ministry at The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama where Chris is a small group leader. Both of us want to inspire you to make your group great!

This is our COVID-19 episode where we walk through what a challenging time this has become, especially for small group leaders. We cover 4 areas of ministry: Care, Connection, Challenge & Content. Be sure to visit us at greatgroups.org, and if you like what you hear, please subscribe!
