Lead a Group

We believe every person is created with God-given potential to make a difference in the world. HC Groups are a place where you can grow with others to become more like Jesus and reach the potential God has put inside you. 

As group leaders, our goal is to create a small group environment where authentic relationships can be formed so that people can find freedom and take the next steps in their faith. Below you will find the steps you can take to become a HC Group Leader and become a part of what God is doing at Hope City. 

How to Lead a Group

How to Become an HC Group Leader

Ready to lead a group? Here’s how to get started:

Step 1. Attend HC Group Leader Training

Join the HC Group Leader Training at your campus to learn how to lead effectively and create a space where people can grow and connect.

Step 2: Complete a Short Digital Application

After training, we’ll send you a quick online application. This helps us get to know you and prepare you for the next steps.

Step 3: Interview with an HC Group Team Member

A team member will schedule a short interview call with you. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and receive support.

Step 4: Register Your Group

After your interview, you’ll be ready to register your group for the upcoming semester.
