Train Your People

Offer the best and most enjoyable Catholic small group training to your community!

While anyone in the world can access the Evangelical Catholic’s rich collection of free videos, tools, and downloadable resources with a free account, most people need a guide to help them unlock the full potential of running a small group. This is that guide. This workshop is designed to make training your leaders simple and adaptable.

The Small Group Leader Training Workshop Kit includes all you need to run a fun, practical, inspiring workshop for any current or future small group leaders in your community.

Who Is It For? 

The workshop is for anyone interested in or currently facilitating a small group of any kind, such as:

• table leaders at men’s and women’s programs
• youth leaders
• adult and young adult small group facilitators
• retreat teams
• service trip or pilgrimage teams
• parish council and committee members
• members of Knights of Columbus, Cursillo, Opus Dei, Focolare, Communion & Liberation, or any other lay association of Christian community
• anyone who desires to gather a few people and encounter God together.
