What's the Difference?
The difference between having Dr. Turansky and Mrs. Miller come to your church or another presenter is two-fold. First, the cost of other presenters is $500 host church fee plus travel and a minimum guarantee of 25 couples paying $25 per family. 

Churches are encouraged to charge each couple $30-35 for the seminar. The extra income goes to the church to help offset their costs.

The cost of having Dr. Turansky and Mrs. Miller is a minimum guarantee of 100 couples paying $30 per couple. There's no host church fee but you pay a $600 deposit which is credited toward your minimum guarantee. After the minimum guarantee is met then out of the next 50 couples the church can apply $25 per couple toward the travel expenses to recoup their costs. After that, all additional registration fees then go to the National Center for Biblical Parenting. This formula is designed to allow the event to pay for itself if the attendance is there.

Secondly, the material taught by other presenters is "Cooperation, Consequences, and Keeping Your Sanity," an excellent presentation containing essential step-by-step guidelines for teaching cooperation and responsibility to children, seven categories of consequences to help children change on a heart level, and powerful ways to end correction times.

Dr. Turansky and Mrs. Miller are now teaching a seminar called "Overcoming Bad Attitudes, Accepting No as an Answer, and Anger in Children." They give very practical advice and provide parents with strategies they can use right away.

 Both seminars are excellent for parents of children 2-18 and one is not a prerequisite for the other.

Using Parenting Classes as an Outreach
More and more churches are discovering the benefit of using parenting seminars to reach out to their community. Parenting is a need people are willing to admit. Calvary Chapel of Mercer County hosted a three-week parenting class and advertised it to the community. The response was 138 families from outside the church in addition to the 30 Calvary Chapel families. Over 300 adults and children attended the seminar. It was an excellent opportunity to introduce families to the church and its other programs, and even to the Lord. Cumberland Valley Church in Dillsburg, PA offered a one evening parenting class every year for three years. At their most recent event, they had over 160 adults and children attend, most of whom were not from their church.

Many churches look for ideas that will attract people to the Lord. Many of those ideas get some results. Parenting classes, though, create a unique opportunity to touch the lives of people. Ministering to families through a felt need often opens the doors for conversations about spirituality and about the message of salvation. The church develops a reputation that says, "We care about families," and people are eager to learn more.

Offer a Children's Program
We provide you with curriculum for a children's program that uses activities, Bible stories, and crafts to communicate truths to children that complement what the adults are learning. The children's program is a significant demonstration that you as a church are interested in families. Furthermore, as volunteers from your church work together, they experience the blessing of fellowship and of knowing that they are serving the Lord together.

Whether you have Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller live or through video, your church will benefit from the humor, stories, and practical help. Parents from single parent families, blended families, and traditional families all learn valuable tools that they can apply with their kids.
