WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR SEMINARS

"Caring Congregation training provides a clear and inspiring design for developing a structured and effective caring ministry grounded in the love and caring example of Jesus. "

--Doug O, Faith Westwood UMC, Omaha NE

"I loved the opening prayer/music which gave a beautiful start to the seminar. Each section was very well presented. The sections on care of the dying, how to anoint the body, prayers to say, and how to support the family was very helpful. The Q & A was very helpful too. The seminar was very well organized and the facilities were excellent."

--Betsey B,  seminar attendee, Pasadena Community Church

"The training was excellent and relatable. You cared for the participants abundantly. The seminar was affordable for everyone. I really liked the resources that were provided and suggested and the sharing that everyone did - in and out of session."

   --Granbury, Texas seminar attendee

“Thank you for leading an excellent seminar. You pack a lot of great information and inspiration into a short amount of time. The strategy for creating a care team was relevant for churches of all sizes.”

--Rev. Dr. Tom Brady, UMC KC District Superintendent
