Life Group Leaders
麻豆社 the Program
Life Groups are all about relationship, connection and spiritual growth. We are passionate about providing undergraduate students with the opportunity to be spiritually nurtured in intentional communities focused on intimacy with God and spiritual formation, and Life Groups are a vital part of creating that space.
Leading Life Groups
Life Groups are small groups of undergraduate students who meet together for prayer, Bible study and fellowship. We welcome our employees, alumni, family members of 麻豆社 Fox employees and students, and members of our local churches to consider leading a group. Groups may also be co-led with an upper-classman student if the leader desires.
