Small Group Facilitator Training - August 2018
|
An in-depth webinar training for small group facilitators and program leaders. Covers the Soul Matters facilitation model, tips for handling facilitation challenges, strategies for program growth, and best practices for new facilitator recruitment and support. For congregations that have existing facilitator training programs as well as congregations that don’t. If your congregation has an existing training, send your trainers as a way of preparing them to lead your own training. We are also glad to work with congregations to set up a personalized training for their facilitators.

Online Facilitator Small Group Meetings - August to December 2018
|
Monthly, two-hour on-line small groups for facilitators. A unique and intensive facilitator training experience. For five months, facilitators meet once-a-month with our team lead and founder of Soul Matters, Rev. Scott Tayler. Each monthly meeting is run as a small group and follows the packet for the upcoming month. Facilitators get a “dry run” of the session they will be leading the following month. Along the way, Rev. Tayler pauses to point out tips and group process. In addition to learning technique, facilitators are nourished by the personal sharing of fellow facilitators from around the country.
After each 2 hour session, facilitators can stay on the call for an optional and more personalized troubleshooting and tips session with Rev. Tayler. This is a chance for facilitators to receive monthly support for the particular challenges they are wrestling with in their groups back in their home congregations. COST: $100 for a half year (5 meetings) TIME PERIOD: First 5-month series is August - December; second series is January - June. MEETING TIMES: We hold two groups for each series. For our upcoming August - December series, one group will meet on the last Tuesday of each month (7-9 pm Eastern) and the other on the last Thursday of each month (7-9 pm Eastern). If you have questions, email Susan Arnold, our Membership Director. REGISTER for either of these two upcoming groups by clicking a button below: |

The Soul Matters team is here to support and coach you. But we're also passionate about creating channels for you to support and share your gifts with each other. One way to do that is through offering a webinar yourself. So, if you’re doing something unique or feel you you’ve learned something important about theme-based ministry, small groups, experiential RE or creative worship, then click the button below to share your idea!
