The material in this teacher’s guide is designed to provide you with all the information and direction that you will need to lead an engaging and dynamic group study of Gaining Ground as a Truly Evangelistic Church. It includes activities and questions to interact with each of the "Essentials" chapters. It also provides you with answers, as needed, to the "Reflect" questions at the end of each chapter. These questions are not intended to be a part of the training session but to give you additional information that you might need as you lead the participants.
