Leading a Group

What to expect as a leader with The Redeemed

Start Leading with The Redeemed

Our mission at The Redeemed is to build a Christ-centered community where men ignite their potential through authentic connection, meaningful conversations, and shared experiences. Our vision is a world where no man walks alone—where those searching for Christ-centered friendship discover a deep, unshakable brotherhood rooted in grace, truth, and transformation.

Small group leaders play a vital role in living out this mission. By opening a space for men to gather, our leaders help create a safe and encouraging environment where men can grow in faith, walk in truth, and experience the brotherhood God designed us for.

Our small group leaders come from all walks of life, including education, corporate workplaces, construction, ministry, healthcare, the military, and first responders. They are single men, husbands, dads, and grandfathers, each bringing their unique experiences and gifts to the table.

You don’t need a theology degree or a perfect schedule to lead. We’re looking for men who love God and have a heart to help other men walk through the difficulties of life. We provide training and coaching along the way, as well as opportunities to support an experienced leader before leading your own group.

What Makes a Great Leader at The Redeemed?

We believe the best leaders are not defined by credentials but by character. Great Redeemed leaders are:

Anchored in Christ – Grounded in God’s Word, prayerful, and dependent on His strength.
Authentic & Vulnerable – Honest about struggles and victories, creating a culture of openness.
Relationally Engaged – Intentional listeners who value connection over performance.
Builders of Brotherhood – Drawing men into community and fostering accountability.
Courageous & Resilient – Willing to lead through challenges with grace and perseverance.
Protectors of Safety – Ensuring conversations are respectful, judgment-free, and supportive.
Servant-Minded – Leading by example, serving rather than seeking recognition.
Equippers & Encouragers – Helping men grow step by step, while celebrating progress.
