Small Group Training
Someone from the first group of leaders Ross trained recently said, "We've been a part of several large and mega-churches in the past 25 years who were known for small groups, and we didn't realize we had the Cadillac version of small group ministry when we were with you." -Anonymous, Tulsa, OK
How do we get people from discussing an idea to living it out? How do we create ever deepening, multiplying community for the sake of the Kingdom? These are the two questions Ross' small group training addresses with proven discipleship results in a unique way few, if any have done.
Multiplying Trainers in Your Organization

Ross' primary life goal is to multiply effective trainers for discipleship and Christian leadership development who adeptly know how to use the principles of adult learning transfer through the use of Participant-Centered Training strategies--the gold standard of the best practices of training.

"One of the great joys of my life was my 9 years working closely with Dr. Ross Adelmann. Ross has the unique gifting and sensibilities to work effectively with a broad spectrum of diverse personalities, ethnicities and generations. He can simplify complex situations and infuse confidence as he trains trainers. I recommend him wholeheartedly. You will not be disappointed."
-Gary Emery, Former Pacific Region Executive Director, Open Bible Churches
"While I was pastoring a multi-staff church, Ross met with my leadership team and I on several occasions. He was very instrumental in helping me develop the team. He has great insight into working with various personality types and is an excellent trainer and coach for both the leader and the team. Ross also walked with us through some very difficult staff and church conflicts and provided valuable insight and support during those situations."
