Relational Church Security Assessments & Training

​Relational Church Security is one of the three components of overall church security services provided by CorrValues.  We believe that in order for your church or ministry to function effectively, the members, employees, staff and leaders must have relational security. 

There are two foundations of Relational Security, which are organizational relationships and family relationships.

Organizational Relational Security

Too many organizations (including churches, ministries, schools, and others) do not pay sufficient attention to addressing and maintaining the health of the individuals who work for or serve them, and even fewer adequately focus on maintaining healthy, respectful working relationships in the organization.  Relational security means supporting the health of individuals who are part of the organization and supporting the health of the relationships and interactions between members of the organization (including administration, staff, volunteers, church members, etc.).
CV Ministries provides the following services designed to develop and enhance Organizational Relational Security:

ASSESSMENTS:

Family Relational Security

Family relationships begin with marriages, which are designed by God to reflect His character and relationship with the church.  Marriages can be the source of the greatest security, satisfaction and even health when they are functioning well, but alternatively can be the source of the greatest pain, insecurity and even illness when they are deteriorating.  Most people do not consider that having a successful marriage requires having and practicing specific relational skills.  Whether it is for engaged couples or couples who have been married for years, there is tremendous benefit from learning and practicing these skills.

CV Ministries can teach those skills to people in your church, ministry, school or organization, which will have great effect for the marriage and its role in God’s kingdom, but also great benefit for the organization.  Marital dissatisfaction and discord are tremendously distracting, and result in poorer functioning in ministry and at work. 

Effective parenting is just as important as effective, healthy marriage.  When children do not experience security, love and support in their families they will have a much more difficult time learning to trust that God offers them unlimited security, love and support.  Parents can provide children a strong foundation of security, self-confidence and respect for others by how they interact with, guide and direct their children.  CorrValues has the expertise to train parents how to effectively develop their children so they grow into secure, loving, respectful adults who utilize their gifts to the fullest possible extent.

Christian Counseling Services

Church security and safety
These services are provided or supervised by Dr. David Stephens, who has 25 years of experience in helping people in churches experience Hope, Relief and Freedom from a variety of mental health, addiction, marital and other issues.  We have a menu of options that can be customized to meet your needs, while at the same time having the capability to provide services you want that may not be on the menu.

Our goal is to partner with you to meet the counseling and security and security needs of your church, and to use the counseling services as an outreach to your community if you so desire.  We want to build a long-lasting relationship with you and be there to support you in any way we can.

  • Life Answers:   We provide  an “Ask the Counselor” service for your church, where people in the church can call, text or email questions about their life, relationships, marriages, stress management, mental illness, alcohol or drug abuse, pornography use or addiction, anger management, and a host of other issues.  We have licensed mental health professionals who are available to answer the questions and provide helpful insights and tools.  Most questions will be answered immediately, and all questions will be answered within 12 hours of the call, text or email.  This is completely confidential.  We will ask the person for the name of their church so you and we can track usage of the service, but require no other personal information.  The service is paid for by the church on a monthly basis, and so there is no charge to church people who use it.

Premarital Counseling and Preparation Workshops

"SEVEN KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE"

CV Ministries is offering Premarital Preparation Workshops and Premarital Counseling services. 

The Premarital Preparation Workshops are 1-day events and provide information and skills that prepare couples for a successful marriage. It is a different approach to traditional premarital counseling, in that it is intended to provide couples with the information they need to have a successful marriage in a workshop setting, and does not require multiple meetings or sessions to accomplish. Couples find it extremely difficult to coordinate multiple meetings or sessions, and so this workshop provides the foundation you need for a successful marriage in a one-day format. It is a fun environment to learn more about each other in the presence of other couples, and you will have opportunities to share and talk with each other, but are not expected to share personal information with others.

The 7 Keys to Marriage Success were developed by Dr. Stephens, based on his 25 years providing marriage counseling to couples, and the 27 years of his own marriage. Whether you choose to participate in the Workshop, or one of the Premarital Counseling packages, they are all built on the 7 Keys to Marriage Success.
The 7 Keys to Marriage Success are:
 
  Key 1:  What You Bring to the Marriage
  Key 2:  Oops – I Brought My Family
  Key 3:  Great Expectations
  Key 4:  Marriage Comes First
  Key 5:  Walking the Talk/Talking the Walk
  Key 6:  Repair Attempts
  Key 7:  Keeping Your Love Alive
 
The Premarital Counseling Packages for individual couples are as follows:

All couples will receive a Workbook that helps them remember and refer to the 7 Keys throughout their marriage.
 
Church Sponsored Premarital Counseling Packages:
 
Your church can offer the Workshop, and it will also be provided to the community at large. If you choose to offer it at your church, we will donate 10% of the Workshop fees to your church.
 
Cost:  $199 per couple. Lunch consists of having a date on your own.
 
All workshops are designed to improve the functioning of the marriages and families in your church, or in your community.  Workshops can be offered to the community as a community service or ministry, and are an effective outreach tool, in addition to being offered for the people in your congregation.
