Lead a Group

Groups at Willow are a place where people can connect around shared interests, passion, vision, season of life… you name it! If you have a vision for a group at Willow, contact us to get the conversation started! You can complete the form to register your group below or use the contact form to connect with a pastor.

Here are the basic requirements for a group at Willow:

• Working one or more Rooted rhythm each time they meet
• Follow the groups schedule of meeting weekly for 10 weeks within a groups term (occurs 3 times a year)
• Connected to the care of a coach
• Led by a Rooted graduate regularly attending Willow
• Comprised of adults 18 or older

There are a few guardrails designed to protect groups at Willow. A group cannot be:

• Based on political or divisive ideas
• Using a business model, making money, or self promotion
• Groups focusing on mental-health topics must be approved by the pastoral care team (will be handled during the registration process)
• Engaging in behaviors or activities involving unnecessary risk, potential harm, or inappropriate behavior that conflict with the Willow leadership agreement or church policies (e.g. drunkenness, gambling)

In the resources section, you will find a Group Idea Guide with detailed information about leading a group, including expectations, available resources, and helpful coaching tips to get you started.
