KOINONIA SMALL GROUP MINISTRY
Koinonia Mentorship
Introduction
Welcome to the Koinonia Mentorship Kickstart Guide. This resource
is designed to be an aid to you as you take on the opportunity to encourage
and mentor other small group leaders within the ministry. In the past,
mentors were given little direction on how to build and establish a solid
relationship with their small group leaders. In light of that, the Koinonia
Mentorship Kickstart Guide was created to help give some direction and
clarity while navigating the formational stages of your relationship with
your small group leaders.
There are outlined ideas and suggestions for your first three meetings,
so this guide will help you with the first 6 to 8 weeks of your mentoring
relationship. This guide is to be used in conjunction with the Leader
Manual: An Insiders Guide to Starting in Small Group Ministry. You
should have been given this manual already by your team leader. However,
if you do not have one, contact the College Ministries Office. They either
will have one available for you, or can order one for you.
A final note is that this guide is not intended to limit you in your
mentoring relationship, but to empower you. This Koinonia Guide is simply
that, a guide. The most powerful component of your relationship with your
small group leader is your personal experiences and your personal
connection. Because of that, do not feel tied or stuck to what is in the
Mentorship Guide. Feel free to add to, take away, or adjust anything as you
see appropriate. It is the hope of the Koinonia Ministry Team that this will
be a big help to you in your relational connection with your small group
leaders.

Conclusion
We hope that this Mentorship kickstart Guide helpful to you and your mentoring
relationship with your small group leaders. Hopefully, by this point in your relationship,
you are ready to begin engaging in deeper ways with your small group leaders. Here are
some helpful ideas moving forward:
1) Try taking your small group leaders off campus to do something
2) Maybe sit-in on one of their Bible studies to meet the whole group
3) Help the small group leaders create an event such as a pizza party or movie
night that would be a fun activity for their group
The opportunities that you have going forward to have an impact on small groups is
incredible. Now that you have an established connection with the leader, start going
deeper and forming relationships with small group members. This way, you can have a
greater impact, and have a more accurate perspective on the health of Koinonia in the
local level. Thank you for taking your time and energy to invest in the small groups and
Bible studies on this campus!
