Welcome to GLCommunity!

 
Bill Donahue
 

Group life lies at the core of church life. Whenever we gather in the name of Jesus, the love, grace and power of God flows — shaping our souls and healing our world. The amazing growth of groups worldwide is evidence that people long to connect to life-changing communities where they can be transformed and empowered to serve Christ and His Kingdom. And we want to help you do just that.

Our vision is to catalyze and support the formation of community in your church by providing premier ministry resources for building group life and promoting spiritual growth. That means offering you proven and innovative tools for groups, group leaders, ministry staff and leadership teams.

When you connect to GLCommunity you will find:

Resources
From point-leader materials to group DVD’s and study guides, to web-based tools, you will find innovative resources for growing people and building ministry. Whether it is group training, leadership development, evangelism strategies or spiritual formation materials, you can expect to find some of the best stuff right here—from Willow and from other innovative ministries worldwide.

Relationships
You can connect with others through our blog, by joining or forming a ministry network, or by becoming a strategic ministry partner. The blog is your portal to current thinking in the field, a network will keep you in touch with other practitioners and thought leaders, and becoming a ministry partner will provide you with a platform to multiply your influence as we work together to build this global movement.

Experiences
We will offer conferences and seminars, advanced leader training, ministry forums and on-line interactions targeted to your ministry needs. You will find a range of developmental opportunities for you and your team throughout the year, at the level of engagement that honors your philosophy, supports your strategy, and fits your budget.

Christ-centered community has the power to transform lives. It is rooted in God’s nature and an essential practice for every Christ-follower. If there is any way we can support you in your quest to foster such community, let us know. We are eager to serve you.

In Christ,

Bill Donahue, PhD
Executive Director—Group Life
