How Darryl helps churches:
Darryl desires to assist as you plan next steps in your ministry with Sunday School, discipleship, small groups, and boomers and builders (senior adults). Consultations, training, events, and writing are ways he may be able to help. Consultations are conversations designed to help you move forward in your plans. They involve listening, questions, and coaching. For your convenience, consultations can be in person, by phone or Zoom, by email or text, or through social media. Training often begins with a consultation in order to customize training to your needs. For your convenience, training can be in person at your church, at a shared location (such as the associational office), or by Zoom. When scheduling your training, consider a day/time when you will best gather your people, and Darryl will work to find a convenient date. Events may be statewide, regional, or associational. Events may share content in multiple locations. An example of an event is EQUIP which provides training in more than a dozen ministry areas to six locations across Kentucky.
