Guiding your weekly meetings

Full List of Battalion Leaders Guides

Helping you guide your weekly meetings

Brigade is passionate and focused on helping you create a context for discipleship, especially in the local church. One of the foundational ways that we do this is through helping you provide a weekly program. To aid you we have designed Leaders Guides built around two key components: God’s Word and God’s World.

God's Word

The foundation of discipleship

God's World

Marveling at the created world and caring for the people in it

What's in a Module Leaders Guide?

The Leaders Guide is a booklet that gives a leader everything you need to lead a weekly meeting built around an interest area, spiritual truths, and a Brigade Point of Valor.

  • A schedule
  • Module Theme
  • Resources needed
  • Scripture Memory
  • Hands on Projects
  • Stories & Messages
  • Game Ideas

When used alongside Brigade Training, resources and the forums, you have a rich set of help to run successful meetings!

The Seven Points of Valor

More than 80 years ago, Joe Coughlin our founder, identified seven attributes that should characterize every Christian man. These became known as “The Seven Points of Valor ” and have become a foundational part of what it means to be a Brigadier.

As you are choosing your battalion Missions we encourage you to make your decision, in part, based on the point of valor emphasized in each module.
