The Prepare To Grow ministry exists to help the body of Christ grow stronger by providing resources that build up the church. These resources include

Equipping Seminars for Teachers
Curriculum for Bible Classes and Small Groups
Consulting Services for Church Ministries, and
Ideas for Growth

We believe it’s God who grows people and churches, but we can prepare for this by making room for his work. When we’re available to God it’s like tilling the soil of our lives and making it ready for the growth that leads to harvest.

This ministry seeks to help individuals and churches with this preparation. Our curriculum will challenge minds, convict hearts, and prepare hands for action. Our seminars help train teachers with skills and equip them with resources as they teach for spiritual transformation. Our consulting service will help your ministry find purpose within the mission of the church and facilitate the process of clarifying expectations to create unity and prepare for growth.
