From facilitating the meeting to shepherding group members to handling conflict, small-group leaders have a lot of responsibilities. When you have a co-leader, you get to share the load with someone else, which is a huge blessing. But it may also raise a few new questions: How should we split up responsibilities? How should we handle disagreements? How should we communicate with one another?
Use this resource to make sure you're ready to co-lead your group. Get great tips on leading a life-changing group and help for navigating your co-leader relationship. If you're a coach or director, be sure to use this with your co-leader teams.
