Kevin Roberts from Trinity Baptist in Pineville, LA shares how he sees Sunday School class or small groups as the best ally a pastor can have. He'll share some specific goals and challenges he has faced as he came to Trinity right after Covid shutdowns as their new pastor. 

In this episode, we talk with Craig Beaman from First Baptist Winnsboro, LA. Craig has a vision for his church and wants to bring changes that will help them better connect to their community. Together, we talk through ideas and strategies, as FBC Winnsboro seeks to make disciples in a rural area. 

As your small group ministry grows, you'll need more leaders to step up and share the work of disciple making. In this episode we will look at some practical ways to recruit, train, and stay connect with your small group leadership. Rick Ellis from Trinity Baptist Church in Lake Charles, LA gives some insight on how he coordinates the large team of leaders and how he keeps them connected to the vision of the church.
