Making the Leap from Junior High

on April 20th, 2008

I’m excited about the potential of having some of our junior high small group leaders make the jump this year as their students head into their freshman year of high school. I had dinner tonight with a few of them, and as they consider their options, I was thinking about reasons that junior higher leaders moving up to high school makes a ton of sense:

  1. They have some experience
  2. They don’t have to start over again
  3. They’ve developed a heart for these students
  4. They understand the process
  5. They know what to expect
  6. They are committed
  7. They know what they’re getting into
  8. They can help students through a challenging transition
  9. They know the students strengths and weaknesses

Add another reason in the comments!

they should also be a known commodity to the parents/family and be a great resource and minister to their family as well.

Are you saying you have small group leaders starting in junior high then they continue with the students through high school? that is interesting.

Side note: What is required of your small group leaders?
