Singles ministry enriches and expands resources and services to adults who are single because of divorce, death, separation, and never-marrieds of all ages and gender. Training events, resource provision, retreats, and conferences are regularly offered for single people and their leadership.
Congregational planning assists congregations in assessing their current ministry needs, and formulating corporate goals and constructing a realistic action plan to achieve the stated goals. Personal, custom visitations over several days are offered by a specially trained congregational consultant.
Educational ministries to children and adults provide resources, workshops and seminars, and training for teachers of Sunday school, vacation Bible school, midweek school, Confirmation instruction. We also work to help congregations and their leaders promote and resource Bible classes for adults.
