TREK: Essential Skills For Guiding Your Group
What Is TREK?
TREK provides you with essential group leadership skills and an opportunity for relationships to form between leaders. It also clarifies the vision of community groups at Brentwood Church.
Who Is TREK for?
TREK is offered to all current Brentwood community group leaders, apprentice leaders, and anyone interested in leading a Brentwood community group in the future. TREK is required for all potential group leaders not being apprenticed inside a current Brentwood community group.
How Does TREK Work?
TREK participants meet once a month for 6 months for dinner, discussion, and training on essential group leadership skills including:
- How to create a predictable and exciting group environment
- How to choose and use group curriculum
- How to guide confrontation and restoration
- How to serve together as a group
- How to apprentice other leaders
- How to avoid leadership burn out
What About Your Spouse?
We believe your spouse plays a vital role in the leadership of your community group, therefore spouses are encouraged to attend TREK. If both you and your spouse attend TREK we will provide free childcare for your family at all Tuesday night TREK meetings (5 total evenings). See TREK schedule below.
