So, you want to start a —
Village.

In a Village you will experience accountability, belonging and care. We believe that circles are more powerful than rows — when we gather in large groups we can be encouraged and inspired but true life change happens when we know and are known by others.

On this page you will find resources that will equip you to start your own Village.

Fill in a Connection Card online here https://ourchurch.org.au/connect#connectform or talk to a staff member or key volunteer at The Junction about starting a group in person or online. 

  1. It is our expectation that before you lead a Village you have been a part of a physical or online Village or part of the OurChurch family for a season. 

  2. Complete Village Leader Training - OurStory, Village Leader Induction course/booklet online. 

  3. Be assigned a coach to discuss training and brainstorm who might join your Village. 

  4. Understand that Villages are fluid and change over time. The ideal is that you are in a Village for a short season 6-12 months and then you will create your own Village to connect with people in your world. The primary purpose of Village is for people to be engaged for accountability, belonging and care while living mission and sharing faith. 

  5. Post on socials about new Village starting to gather interested people from the community. 

  6. Gain access to resources to use within your group. Circle up etc. 

  7. Register your group in Ucare for reporting and care purposes. 

  8. Group begins with running Circle Up. 

  9. Coach checks in with Village Leaders at least once a term to discuss progress.

Complete this training to be on your way to hosting your own Village.
