Our desire is for many Small Groups to be created. Our SG training course is the ICF Leadership Training and you can register with us (start a Small Group), look for SG participants in your area, invite them and get started! Soon someone will get in touch with you for the Starter Coaching, where you will receive all the information you need as a leader. And you will be assigned a contact person, a SG coach, who will continue to support you and answer any questions you may have!

Why do we coach Small Group Leaders?

We desire for you to do well as a Small Group leader, to grow in your relationship with God, with your fellow human beings and with yourself, and to be a person who experiences and radiates God's love for your Small Group participants!

Our regular (coaching leader) meetings in Small Groups (twice a year) are intended to help us as leaders, who are all walking with Jesus, get to know each other better, share honestly about our relationship with God, learn from each other and pray for each other. You are welcome to discuss major Small Group problems with your coach/contact person. He/she will look for solutions with you or with our team. We want you to flourish as a leader!

Next steps

• You will be assigned a coach/contact person. (visible on Elvanto in your group)
• Twice a year you will be invited by your SG Coach to the Coaching Group, where you will be inspired as a leader and you can exchange ideas with other SG Leaders. Here you will receive the latest information and feel the vision and heart of the ICF Small Group Ministry. These meetings are very important to us, so give them priority in your agenda.
• You are not responsible for the people in your group. You are not alone! You can always contact your coach if you have questions or difficult experiences. We have help centers in the ICF and we can refer people in great need to professional counseling.
• If you have any questions, you can contact your coach at any time.
