JOHN MAXWELL VIRTUAL MASTERMIND GROUPS
According to Luke 6:13-16, Jesus selected “ordinary” folks with a mixture of backgrounds and personalities to be His disciples. Today, God calls “ordinary” folks together to build His Church, teach salvation’s message, and serve other out of love. Alone we may feel unqualified to serve Christ effectively, but together we can make up a group strong enough to serve God in any way.
Our facilitated virtual small groups offer a combination of masterminding, brainstorming, creative thinking, education, accountability and support in a group setting to sharpen your ministry and personal success skills.
