Facilitating a Compass Small Group will require an investment of time and effort.  We’re so grateful for your willingness to serve others and see their lives transformed by God’s word.

We offer two training options that will prepare you to facilitate any of the Compass Small Group Studies:

  • 2-hour live web-based trainings are offered several times a week at different times of the day to fit your schedule.
  • 3-hour live on-site trainings can be hosted at your church, home or business for a  more personal training experience.  If there’s not one scheduled for your area, contact the Compass office nearest you for details about hosting one.

Facilitator trainings are offered at no additional cost beyond the purchase of facilitator materials.

Before Registering for a training please:

  • Purchase the Facilitator Guide(s) for the study you (& your spouse) plan to lead.   Click here to see the Small Group Studies that Compass offers.
  • Allow 4 to 8 hours  to complete the assignments prior to attending a training

Two facilitators are recommended for each class (a married couple counts as one facilitator). Spouses are encouraged to attend. If your spouse will be attending, they will also need to have completed all of the pre-training requirements.
