Small Group Leadership
Groups that fizzle after a semester. Leaders burning out. People slipping through the cracks. Systems that worked at 100 but break at 500. I've been there. I've solved it. And I can help you solve it too.

You launched groups and they started strong. Then half of them quietly died. Your best leaders burned out. New people showed up on Sunday but never found their way into a group. And somewhere along the way, you started wondering if this whole small group thing even works?
It does work! But not without a system that's built to scale.
Most churches either wing it or adopt a model that was designed for a completely different context. What works in a megachurch doesn't translate to your church's context. What works for people in their 50s doesn't connect with people in their 20s.
I've spent 17 years building a system that works in one of the hardest contexts in the country: young professionals in a transient urban city, with zero budget and no seminary-trained leaders. We can make it work in your context too.
What People Say
"Nick is a seasoned and wise leader of small groups. His ability to ask insightful questions helps ministries decipher root causes and surface opportunities for growth. Working with Nick brought our team together, solidified our plan, and helped us recognize beautiful ministry already happening. I'm grateful for his friendship and expertise."
Adult Ministries Director, Browncroft Community Church
"Nick is simply an expert when it comes to small group ministry. But what blew me away is that he didn't hand us a canned training. He got on Zoom with us a few times to understand what our church was trying to accomplish, then built the training around it. That made all the difference. I can't recommend him high enough."
Senior Pastor, Church of the Creek
