Lead a Circle
Love God, love moms and willing to pray, prepare and listen? You can lead a small circle of 6 to 12 moms. The study guide does the teaching. You hold the space, and our team walks with you.
Moms in your circle
One study at a time
You choose your circle's rhythm
Training, a Leader Guide and a team
You do not have to be an expert
Circle leaders are not teachers or counsellors. You are a host and a shepherd: you open the meeting, guide the discussion with the questions in the guide, pray with your moms and check in on them during the week.
If you have been asking God how you can serve, this may be your answer.
Circle leaders
- Love God and are growing in their walk with Him
- Have a heart for moms and families
- Can commit to the full 12 weeks
- Meet with their circle weekly or every other week, Monday to Saturday
- Share attendance by the Sunday after each meeting
- Attend leader orientation and onboarding
- Agree to our circle covenant and care for each mom with love and confidentiality
We walk with you

Everything you need to lead each week: how to run a meeting, what to say, how to care for your moms and what to do when things get hard.
Training and support
Leader orientation before you begin, and a team who checks in, answers questions and prays with you all season.

Leading is a first step
Many of our team members and Family Ambassadors began by leading a circle. If God is stirring you to serve families more deeply, explore our LEGACY series.
Leading a circle
Do I need Bible college or ministry experience?
No. The study guide and Leader Guide do the teaching. You need a love for God, a heart for moms and a willingness to pray, prepare and listen.
How often does my circle meet?
You choose. Each study alternates a meeting week and an immersion week, so your circle can meet every week or every other week. Many hybrid circles meet in person once a month and online in between.
How much time does it take?
About one to two hours for each meeting, plus time to go through the lesson and check in on your moms.
Can I lead online?
Yes. Many circles meet online, which means your moms can be anywhere in the world.
Can I lead with a friend?
Yes. Co-leading is a great way to start. Each of you should apply, and let us know who you would like to lead with.
Do I have to lead every study?
No. You commit one 12-week study at a time. Many leaders continue, but you choose each season.
What if a mom in my circle is going through something serious?
You are not expected to carry it alone. Your Leader Guide shows you what to do, and our team is there to help and to connect her with the right support.
I applied but have not heard back.
