MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to raise the level of Christian spirituality, and
inspire persons to be converted to Jesus Christ, through
Christian lifeskills training, based on the Bible, with help from the
social sciences, philosophy, history and researched data. The
program facilitates an increase in spirituality, as defined by behaviors
of the Fruit(s) of the Spirit. The “fruit(s) of the spirit” are, LOVE,
JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS,
GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL. These Fruit(s) or behaviors have
been made measurable through the social sciences. As persons
learn to measure and take responsibility for their increases in the
behaviors defined by those “fruit(s)” they gain more and more of
the benefits which God promised in many verses in the Bible. On
the average persons who live at higher levels of the “fruit(s)
(behaviors) have fewer illnesses, less stress in life, more coping
strength throughout life, tend to rise to higher levels of influence,
ONE OF THE CHURCH'S PROBLEMS
Research turned up information that one-half of persons
declaring they attend church "REGULARLY", have LOWER
"FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT" (Galatians 5:22-23) scores than
persons declaring they "NEVER" attend worship.
We offer these materials to help persons in general, and
Christians in particular, upgrade their spirituality and their
lives. We think Christians ought to have a higher level of
"Fruits of the Spirit" which are "love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faith-fulness, gentleness and self-control."
These materials teach how to elevate those "FRUITS" and
thereby raise their "communication," "self-esteem,"
"leadership," and general socio-economic levels.

CHARACTER EDUCATION
! IS ENTERING THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
! IS ENTERING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
! IS GENERATING THE PUBLISHING OF BOOKS.
COACHING - MENTORING MINISTRY IS A PROGRAM FOR THE CHURCH!
! MENTORING IS FOR GOOD PERSONS WHO WANT TO MAXIMIZE THEIR POTENTIAL
! COACHING -MENTORING HELPS RESTORE THE IMAGE OF GOD IN PEOPLE I Peter 1:2
! COACHING -MENTORINGCOMBINES TRAINING WITH ACCOUNTABILITY
! COACHING -MENTORINGWON'T LET YOU GET SPEWED OUT (Revelations!) BECAUSE
OF LUKEWARM LIFESKILLS.
! COACHING -MENTORING HAS THE BEST HEALTH PROGRAM THAT GETS RESULTS.
! COACHING -MENTORING TEACHES THE GOOD LIFE FOR THIS LIFE!
Remember, St Augustine , back in the 5th century
heavily promoted the idea that ETERNAL LIFE
starting in THIS LIFE with better health, greater
happiness, increased well-being, and
(in most cases) greater wealth.
HOW SAVED ARE PEOPLE?
Peter had it right. You may be saved for eternity.
But God’s plan is also to enrich our character so
that we are SAVED from, or elevated above,
the “rottenness of this world.”
“His divine power has given us everything we need for life
and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us.
. . . (NIV) and by that same mighty power he has given us all
the other rich and wonderful benefits he promised, that through
them you may participate in the divine nature (NIV) . . . For
instance, the promise to save us from (escape from, RSV)
the corruption (rottenness, LB) in the world caused by evil
desires (NIV) ... and to give us his own character (NIV).”
II Peter 1:3-4
According to research, only one-fourth of "regularly attending" church
members are saved like Peter says they can be saved. Three-fourths of
Christians who "attend regularly" DO NOT FUNCTION WITH ABOVE
AVERAGE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, which are characteristics of character.
The way it looks from the research statistics, there are a lot of “regular
attending” worshipers who are not saved from the “corruption” and
“rottenness” of this world. And they could be in a much healthier, happier,
more successful way of living if the church would teach them the optimum
lifeskills that they need for TOTAL salvation, now and hereafter.
MORE GOOD NEWS!
The COACHING - MENTORING program teaches that
the highest “fruit(s)” level (one-fourth
of “regular attenders”) average 68.6% less depression in
a lifetime, than the “regular attenders who average out
to be in the lowest levels of that/those “fruit(s)”.
BAD NEWS !
The LIFESKILLS section teaches that the lowest
“fruits” level (the three-fourths of “regular
attenders”) have the highest level of “alcohol
related problems.”
These same “lowest fruit(s)” persons
average the highest level of “job stress”,
even above the “never attend”-ers.
COACHING HELPS RAISE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER
THE COACHING - MENTORING LEARNING MODEL IS SIMILAR TO
THE LEARNING MODEL OF STEVENS MINISTRY
COACHING- LEARNING - TEACHING - OUTREACH
BRINGS PEOPLE UP TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Sunday School came into being over a century ago.
Adult Christian Education became prominent in the 1900's
NOW it's Christian Coaching - Mentoring

3. The church started ACADEMIES (high schools)
4. The church started COLLEGES
5. The church started HOSPITALS
6. The church started SOCIAL SERVICES
7. NOW ITS CHARACTER TRAINING via COACHING
