The Benefits of The Training Are Many:

~ Lay driven

Momdoulary Passages Death & Mourning Doula programs and “What Now?” Grief Coach programs are lay-driven ministries. As a pastor or church staff member, you don’t need to invest a lot of time launching this ministry. Simply identify committed lay leaders, and your Death & Mourning ministry will become a self-sustaining font of support.

~ We Give You The Tools You Need  

A comprehensive training and leadership tools are provided. The state-of-the-art online classroom includes text lessons, videos, podcasts, handouts, written assignments, and interactive forums. It even includes a Quick Start Launch program, to walk your leaders through ministry launch.

~ Flexibility

You can create a fully comprehensive ministry, providing support during end-of-life care, loss and funeral support, or extended grief and acclimation support across the difficult months following a loss. Focus on one area, or all 3 – the choice is up to you.

~ A Great Evangelism & Outreach Tool

Momdoulary Passages Death & Mourning Doulas & Coaches will minister to the bereaved in your church. However, it is also a fantastic community outreach tool. Launch a support session, and you will discover that many who don’t yet know Christ or belong to a church will find their way to your doors. Provide this support, and you will find new members for your church – members who found their way to you at one of the most crucial, tender points of their lives.
