Life Group Leaders
Life Group leaders, this is the place for you to manage and plan for your groups.
The yearly cycle of a Life Group consists of two semesters. The first semester runs from September to December. The second semester runs from January through May. In each of these semesters, Life Groups are expected to have experiences across Kingsway's core values.
