Single Parent Ministry Training
Never in our country's history has there been a greater number of single parent families. The majority of these families have low household incomes, and their needs can be overwhelming. The opportunity for outreach is tremendous.

The Bible is very clear about God's will in regard to caring for the needs of others, especially single parent families. Many churches have seen the need and recognize God's commandment to help, but they don't know how to begin to minister to these needs. The "Single Parent Ministry Training" seminar is designed to show churches how to develop practical ministries that will meet the growing need.

In the "Single Parent Ministry Training" seminar, you will learn:

• How to recognize the unique needs of single parent families.
• The biblical response to single parent families and how to meet needs effectively.
• What other ministries are doing to meet needs.
• The financial struggles of single parents: includes group discussion and role-playing to explore solutions to the problems presented.
• How to build an effective single parent ministry: team-building exercises include developing your mission, purpose, and basic direction.

Budget Counselor Training Course
To address the need for Bible-based budget counseling, Crown Financial Ministries has developed resources to assist churches in training lay budget counselors. The two main resources are The Budget Counselor Training Course (an at-home, self-study course) and the Budget Counselor Training Workshop (a one-day workshop presented by a certified Crown instructor).

Many people call Crown each week to inquire about obtaining budget counseling in their community. In order to meet this need, Crown Financial Ministries maintains a list of volunteer budget counselors around the country who are willing to receive referrals from Crown.

In order to become a certified Crown referral budget counselor, an additional step of training is required. People who have satisfactorily completed the Budget Counselor Training Course are eligible to attend a Budget Counselor Training Workshop. This one-day workshop is presented by certified Crown instructors at various locations around the country as demand warrants.

The Budget Counselor Training Workshop will reinforce the biblical principles of managing money and the principles of counseling taught in the Budget Counselor Training Course. Topics include:

• Fundamentals of Biblical Stewardship
• The Secret of True Wealth
• The Perils of Financial Bondage
• Seven Steps to Financial Freedom
• Making Plans to Control Spending
• Twelve Case Studies
• Techniques for the Budget Counselor
• Organizing and Sustaining Your Financial Counseling Ministry
