Our Lifegroup Toolbox is designed to equip you with tools and guides to help you plant, lead and multiply house to house community in your sphere of influence!

Vision & Values of Lifegroup

We want you to be equipped in the vision and values of Lifegroups, both for yourself and for those you lead.

Toolbox

Every good toolbox starts with quality, classic tools. When you're getting started, you don't need a workshop full of specialty tools to build something beautiful. You can accomplish remarkable things by mastering the basics: a hammer, screwdriver, pliers and tape measure.

After thirty years of Lifegroups in Waco and around the world, here are thirty proven, classic tools that have helped thousands of leaders just like you plant, lead and multiply healthy Lifegroups.

You won’t need all of these to get started, but over your first year of leading these tools will help you get off to a strong start, and will be classics you come back to again and again
