Seminar Builds Parenting Skills
Would you like parents at your church to learn to be more effective in their role? Are you interested in helping your church make new relationships in the community by offering parenting classes? Impact Parenting Seminar can assist your ministry!

Luncheon for Businesspeople
Would your church like to host a  breakfast, luncheon, or dinner for businessmen and businesswomen in your church family and/or community? You could use this get-together as an outreach endeavor or as a means of helping businesspeople in your church develop a Biblical perspective of their work. Michael Nolan, GARBC director of business administration, is available to speak from his perspective of serving full-time in vocational ministry after coming from a management background with General Motors. Michael shares his personal testimony and life experiences as he presents the Word of God and discusses two of his passions—family and business. In addition, Michael can host a Q & A time, in which specific topics of interest of those attending can be addressed. For more information, contact Michael Nolan.
