FAQs

How do I know if I’m a good fit?

Since Four:one Journey is designed for Small Group interaction through the local church, you may discuss with your Pastor, Minister, or Professional Counselor your possible participation.

May I alter the material?

You may not. Four:one Journey is copyright protected. However, if you have suggested enhancements or suggested amendments we would be pleased to consider those.

What qualifications does a Small Group Lead have?

A Small Group Lead is not a Four:one Journey employee and serves voluntarily under the authority of their local church. Each church has the responsibility for establishing their qualifying guidelines. Four:one Journey can be led by either a gifted lay leader or by a licensed professional, but both would be serving under their church’s authority.

Four:one Journey is not available in my church. What should I do?

You may want to consider joining a Small Group at another church in your area.

If four:one journey has not established partnering churches in your city, you could enroll in the Self-directed Online Course.
You may ask your church leadership to consider contacting Four:one Journey.

What if a four:one journey SGL feels a participant needs professional or clinical help?

Since SGLs are not licensed counselors, he or she should contact their supervising Pastor or Elder and have a compassionate conversation regarding the participant. The church may want to make a referral to a trusted licensed professional counseling center.

Can I be a Small Group Lead (SGL) if I’ve never been to a course?

It is our belief that being a Four:one Journey small group participant BEFORE becoming a Small Group Lead (SGL) enhances an individual’s ability to connect with class participants. However, each church sets their guidelines for SGL’s qualifications.

I’ve noticed that there is some variation on the price of participation for some locations. What’s up with that?
The price for participation can vary based on market or venue. Presently there are two pricing tiers. The first tier is based on a Partnering Church Agreement, where the Small Group Lead serves as a volunteer leader for the Church.
The second is based on a Partnering Organization Agreement, where the 501c3 has an obligation to its board and donors to charge a fee commensurate with their assessment of the per session value received.
The Zoom related courses have the added expense of shipping the curriculum manuals vis USPS or UPS.
