Southside Church is a multi-campus church located on the South side of Atlanta experiencing unprecedented growth, life change, and community impact. Small groups are the DNA of our churches. The Groups Director for our Newnan Campus is a strategic role that serves our adult volunteer small groups through recruitment, shepherding and development of leaders.
Church Description
Southside was founded in 2005 and is a strategic partner of North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, GA. North Point was founded in 1995 with the vision of creating churches that unchurched people love to attend. Our strategy is to create relevant and irresistible environments where people are encouraged and equipped to pursue intimacy with God, community with insiders, and influence with outsiders. Though our methods have evolved over the years, the mission has always been to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
The Southside work environment is comprised of a vibrant community of forty staff members at three campuses who are committed to staying focused on being a church unchurched people love to attend. We are men and women just like you who have chosen to live out the purposes of God in our lives by leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
We nurture an outstanding culture with servant leaders and co-workers who love, care, and pray for one another. Our team values excellence, hard work, teamwork, collaboration, fun, and continual improvement. We enjoy a casual work environment with an emphasis on work-life balance, a generous best in class benefits package, competitive salaries, and opportunities for continual leadership development and career progression as well as opportunities to work closely with North Point Community Church.

A Typical Day
Much of the role of a Groups Director consists of networking and equipping activities. Regular one-on-one meetings with volunteer leaders are a core aspect of the role of a Groups Director. Day to day work includes networking with potential volunteer leaders, meeting with new volunteer leaders to offer training, and encouraging and equipping existing leaders as they take next steps with their groups. A normal day might also include researching best practices, developing training materials, evaluating small group curriculum, planning for the upcoming assimilation events, data management, and meeting with other staff members to collaborate together on mutually achievable and interdependent ministry goals.
