What We Offer Churches & Ministries

  • Marriage Mentorship Program

    Let us help you care for the marriages in your church. Thrive Marriage Mentors is a biblical, affordable, user friendly program designed with pastors and volunteers in mind. Unlike any other program, we dive into the narratives of the marriage, going beyond tips and techniques, into deeper story engagement, resulting in transformative discipleship of couples.

  • We offer sabbatical coaching alongside our sabbatical course for ministry leaders.

    Sabbatical Resources

    For those in vocational ministry, we’ve pooled our collective decades of experience in church leadership, missions, and Christian ministry to help you take a restorative sabbatical. Our package includes a self-paced online course and virtual coaching sessions with one of our Storywork coaches. Or, come to one of our Sabbatical Experience retreats here in Colorado.

  • Ministry Caregiver Course

    Designed specifically with ministry and lay leaders in mind, this course will provide you with the theological and practical frameworks you need to offer quality care to those you serve. We’ll train you how to move beyond tips and bible verses to engage the deeper narratives of a person’s life. Learn more about our on demand course, live cohort, and group licensing options.

  • ReStory Counseling Pre-Field Preparation

    Pre-Field Preparation Package

    We’ve combined our story approach to self-awareness and emotional intelligence with personal ministry experience to create a 6-session pre-field preparation package everyone going into vocational ministry should take advantage of.

  • Church and Ministry Consulting offered from a counseling perspective and ministry leadership experience.

    Organization Consulting

    Every ministry faces challenging seasons. That’s why we’ve combined 50 years of ministry experience with our ReStory® approach to offer individualized care, culture assessments, governance reviews, transition planning, and overall organizational consultation to church leadership, elder boards, and ministry staff teams.

  • Our Organizational Counseling Intensives offer mediation, reconciliation, reorganization, transition processing, or grief processing.

    Team Intensives

    At times, ministry groups need specialized care in moments or seasons of crisis. We offer customized multi-day intensives designed to address the specific needs of your organization, including mediation, reconciliation, reorganization, transition planning, or grief processing.
