You’re in the right place. This is your one-stop shop for everything you need to get started. From your initial leadership application and training resources to officially registering your group for the semester, you’ll find all your next steps right here.
Thank you for stepping up to build community and lead others at Victory!
If you’re exploring the idea of leading, or you know exactly what group you want to launch, your next step is Small Group Leader Training. Along with being a member, this training is a prerequisite for everyone planning to lead at Victory.
To fit your schedule, you can choose to join us for an upcoming in-person class at your campus or complete your training online right now. Whichever track you choose, the Small Group Leader Playbook is available below to help you follow along and take notes. Once you’ve completed your training and submitted your leadership forms, a member of our small groups team will be in touch to help you cross the finish line!
Once you have finished your training modules (in-person or online), your next step is to submit your leadership paperwork. Once completed, a member of our small group team will reach out to walk you through your launch!
Are you interested in bringing people together to help them connect and grow? Hosting a group is simple—choose a topic or an activity that interests you and select a time and place to meet. When your training and forms are complete and you’re ready to launch, just fill out the form to submit your small group idea. Once that is approved someone will let you know and it will be available on the Group Finder.
If you have any questions, please email smallgroups@lifeatvictory.com or call 724.453.6200.
Once your group is created, you can easily manage and contact everyone in your small group by using your My Victory account. Simply watch the video below to learn how! Remember, you must have a My Victory account, and your group must be registered.

Check out the Ideas for Small Groups for great ideas for small groups. You can also view what
curricula we have for loan there.
• Start with people who are already in your sphere of influence (co-workers, friends, neighbors).
They do not have to attend Victory to be in a small group.
• Find people around you who are new to the church, are new believers, or have shown interest in
joining a small group.
• Post on social media.
• Pray God will send the right people to your group
• From Your Home
Hosting a group from your home can create a more personal experience. Host a group from your
home or find someone who is willing to open their home and host your group.
• Online
Host a group from anywhere! You can find info on how to host an online small group HERE.
• Local Coffee Shop or Café
Many local coffee shops and cafés provide a great space for leading a small group. Be sure to
inquire about any minimum spending requirements and their hours.
• Local Library
Many libraries have rooms available for the public to use. You can contact your local library
directly for more information.
Once the small group leadership team approves the submission, it will show up on the Small Group Finder.
Yes! We encourage you to invite others to join your group. If you have filled your group, then simply let us know and we will help you add the people to your group. Also, the group will not go live on the small group finder.
Simply direct individuals to the Small Group Finder. As a small group leader, you can also add members to your small group through your My Victory account. To learn how to manage your small group online, view the Managing Your Group Online video.
The small group leader can log in to their My Victory Account and add additional individuals to their small group if they choose to do so.
Do not panic if no one signs up for your group right away. Do know that when you first start to lead, your group may have fewer people and that is okay. You are the best promoter of your group, so make sure you are personally inviting others to join your small group.
If you encounter a difficult situation in your small group, please know you are not alone. Use wisdom and be sensitive to the situation. If you’re unsure of what to do, call the church or email smallgroups@lifeatvictory.com and someone from our team will be happy to assist you.
We do not provide tables for your small group. We will have chairs in the room for you to use. Anything other than chairs, you will have to provide for your group.
Any handouts or materials needed for the small group will be the responsibility of the small group leader to provide.
We are a church all about helping people take their next steps. Be sure to check out the How to Help Your Group Members Take Next Steps video on ways you can talk about next steps with your small group.
If you have any questions, be sure to reach out to your Coach. They’d love to answer any questions you have or help you find answers to your questions.
