Host or Lead an Echo Group

Create a welcoming space for people to grow in their faith and build friendships with others.

We encourage everyone to leverage their spiritual gifts, interests, and hobbies for God’s Kingdom. A great way to get started is by hosting or leading an Echo Group — a welcoming space for people to grow in their faith and build friendships with others!

First-Time Group Leader or Host Challenge

Have you ever thought about leading or hosting a group, but weren’t sure where to start? This summer is the perfect opportunity!

From June 8 to August 2, we’re inviting first-time leaders and hosts to step up and create spaces where people can grow in faith and community. And the best part? Summer groups are short (just eight weeks!) and super flexible — you can meet weekly or every other week and base your group around fun, seasonal activities like hiking, BBQs, game nights, or beach days.

All you need to do is:

Sign up to host or lead a group
Take regular attendance
Have fun building community

🎉 At the end of the summer, one group leader per campus will win a dinner out for their whole group on us!

Hosting vs. Leading

Leading others to passionately follow Jesus is one of the most fulfilling parts of being a Christ-follower. You can do so by becoming a group host or leader.

Group Host

Hosting is a great way to grow spiritually and connect with others.

As a host, you’ll facilitate meaningful discussions about the Sunday messages while engaging in a common interest (e.g., basketball, cooking, or hiking) with your group members. Hosts typically have not completed the leadership qualifications to be endorsed by Echo.

Group Leader

Leading a group is a great way to help people deepen their faith and strengthen their spiritual practices.

As a leader, you’ll facilitate discussion with or teach Bible-based content to your group members. All leaders must complete Echo’s leadership qualifications, and be trained and endorsed by Echo staff.
