RED Church Small Group Coach Agreement


Thank you for serving as a Small Group Coach at RED Church. As a Coach there are expectations and responsibilities that go beyond those of a Small Group Leader. As such, you will be viewed as one of the key leaders of RED Church’s Small Groups. As a Small Group Coach you are asked to enter into an agreement with the other leaders to make this ministry area a priority. All fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
  • TIME COMMITMENT: Varies with no. of SGLs—approx. 20 hours per small group semester
  • MINIMUM LENGTH OF COMMITMENT: One year as coach (while simultaneously leading or co-leading a small group one semester)
  • REPORTING RELATIONSHIP: Small Groups Coordinator
  • SPIRITUAL GIFTS: Any Combination: Leadership (Acts 13:1-3; 15), Teaching (John 21:15-17; I Tim. 4:6,11; 6:17), Exhortation (Acts 9:26-30), Administration (Acts 15)
  • SMALL GROUP COACH EXPECTATIONS (find a more detailed list of expectations and responsibilities here)
    • A coach is not someone in the stands watching or on the sidelines waiting.
    • A coach is a partner providing support to and equipping Small Group Leaders.
    • A coach is someone who models Christian maturity, who builds intentional relationships, equips leaders and ministers as part of a team.
As a Small Group Coach, I join with RED Church in these commitments to use my giftings:

  •  1.  I will lead my Small Group Leaders to pursue growth in three major relationships: God, Christians, and Outsiders.
  •  2.  I will embody and reflect the values and principles of RED Church and will follow the RED Church leadership. This includes:
    •  Striving to live a godly life
    •  Attending Sunday services regularly
    •  Giving of my time, finances and giftings in a God-honoring way
  •  3.  I will be responsible for care of the Small Group Leaders who are assigned to me and I will:
    •  Pray for each of them daily
    •  Personally contact each leader weekly
    •  Visit each group monthly
    •  Huddle together with my SGL team (all groups) at LITE meetings and as needed during the semester
  •  4.  I will make attending all SG Leader meetings a priority.
  •  5.  Each semester I will assist my pastor in recruiting new SG Leaders and in setting up new Small Groups.
  •  6.  I will assist with Small Groups preparation, promotion, and programs when possible (ex. SG Leaders Training, Sunday sign up, etc.)
