GROUPS
Whether it is a small group or a study, Group Leaders help facilitate conversations during meetings. Leaders do not have to teach or have extensive knowledge of the study – we are all learning together! Leaders help move the discussion along and at times organize when and where groups will meet.
Group hosts open their living spaces to provide spaces for small/study groups to meet. Groups are usually no more than 15 people and sometimes rotate locations.
