GROUPS200 is one of a kind experience for Small Group Point people and/or their team. The experts leading the sessions aren’t breakout leaders at conferences, at almost any other conference, they either keynote or they host their own small group pastor conferences. Believe me, you’ll probably never get them exclusively in one place where THEY ARE THE CONFERENCE.

Who am I talking about?… Steve Gladen (Groups Pastor, Saddleback Church, Lake Forest, California), Bill Donahue(Groups Consultant, Speaker, Trainer, formerly with Willow Creek Community Church, South Barrington, Illinois), and Bill Willits (Groups Director, North Point Community Church, Alpharetta, Georgia). They even let me do a session or two.

Not only are you getting the best of the best, you get to be with them for three days for $99.00 and because we only accept about 200 attendees you can get up close and personal.

I think you’ll find the rest of the info you need below.
