Testimonials:
"This course was the perfect way to clarify our direction for NFP ministry in our parish. Christina's experience and resources are such an amazing tool for us to learn from and use in our own ministries." |
"As someone who barely knew the basics of NFP, I feel that this course prepared me to understand NFP and support others on their NFP journey. It not only helped me from an individual standpoint but also from a church leadership standpoint. I am eager to apply what I learned to serve God." |
"We gleaned so much from this course and we feel incredibly prepared to be NFP Ambassadors in our parish and beyond! We have resources galore, a plan, and a great WHY for our mission. We are pumped!" — Phil and Becca

FAQs
Who can apply?
Anyone who is currently using NFP or serving in couples' ministry is invited to apply. You may apply as an individual or as a couple~ this will not impact your consideration for the program and as long as you are serving together, there will be no change in fee for couples to attend together. Applicants should demonstrate a desire to serve their local community: this training program will focus specifically on Catholic parishes, but will have broader applications. Please contact Christina if you have any specific questions about whether the program might be a good fit for you!
Will the sessions be recorded?
No. Applicants must make the commitment to attend each session live: there is no asynchronous learning option.
How many people will be accepted?
This program is designed to be facilitated as a small group format. Space will therefore be limited to 10 participants for this first round, although there will likely be a couple of auditors in attendance as well. If you are interested in auditing the group in order to preview the contents for your parish or diocese, please contact Christina.
How will the application process work?
Sign up if you are interested in being notified for the next training session! You will be sent an email with information about program dates, fees, and specifics, with a link to the current application. Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Only TEN applications will be selected in the first round, upon which the applicants will be notified that they have been selected and will be invited to either pay the course fee on their own, or send a funding request to their pastor (with an invoice link to pay). Payment will be due within 10 days. If payment is not received by then, I will move down the waiting list and select another applicant who will be invited to go through the same process.
Why are you doing it this way?
I want to ensure that I don't give priority status to people who are able to pay out of pocket for themselves. This process ensures that applicants receive equal priority regardless of their ability to pay directly.
