REACH

Saddleback Church invites you to an exclusive REACH Training event where you will receive teaching on how to launch and build a Mental Health Ministry within the context of your church. During this 3-day event, at Saddleback’s beautiful Rancho Capistrano Retreat Center, Saddleback's Hope for Mental Health Team will share promising and best practices for mental health ministry. We will train you on how to develop a volunteer ministry within your church that can lead and launch a practical and robust response to care for people impacted by mental illness. You will walk away with new vision, practical insights, and concrete solutions to expand your reach and impact within your church and community.

We will go behind the scenes at Saddleback Church where you will gain a theological framework for mental health ministry, develop a paradigm for care, understand how to deliver practical and effective levels of ministry for any size church, learn about tools and strategies for starting a mental health ministry, and much more.

Session highlights include:

• What the Church Can Do: Developing a Mental Health Ministry in your Church

• Leading & Launching Life Changing Support Groups

• A Case Study: Implementing a Framework for Care Teams

• How to Cultivate Lasting Strategic Partnerships in the Public & Private Sectors

• How to Develop a Lay Counseling Ministry

• Determine a Strategy for Mental Health Ministry within your Church

• How to Launch a Community Resource Center

• How to Start a Celebrate Recovery

• Special Guest Speakers include: Kay Warren, Professor John Swinton, and Others

Exclusive for this event, your registration includes access to our Mental Health & the Church online discussion forum, ongoing web based training, and coaching support from Saddleback staff.

Space is limited to only 115 participants, and this exclusive training will sell out quickly. To maximize the number of churches who can participate, we are limiting registration to 2 representatives per church.
