Pa. Butch Novitsky, Pastor of Discipleship Ministries shared in the recent church newsletter, "Village View," that Village EFC of Maple Plain, MN has an intentional vision for their Leadership Community which includes a monthly gathering to equip their small group "pastors" (leaders of Growth Groups and Ministry Teams). Focused on providing support and training to those who take on the critical role of small group disciplemakers, the group of 20 leaders and their spouses are intentionally encouraged, challenged by the Word and informed to share vital information important to the body with their small groups. As Pa. Butch said, "We believe this role of small group 'pastor' to be the critical role for the success of our congregation. All small groups are intended to be places where lives out what it means to know and delight in Jesus Christ."
