Church Initiative is a church-equipping ministry, existing to serve and equip local churches for frontline ministry to people who are experiencing a life crisis. Issues such as divorce, grief and addiction recovery are difficult areas of ministry. Church Initiative develops comprehensive resources and curriculum to assist churches to minister effectively to such needs in their communities. The core of the concept of church-equipping is the idea that everyone in a church is a minister, and the gifts and talents needed to accomplish a ministry are found in the people of the church. Our materials are designed to help train and support congregations to do that job. The ministry produces and publishes a variety of video-based curriculums, focusing on the small group format.
