Creating a Ceremonies-Based Ministry -
From Blessings to Bookkeeping
Begin a new career in ceremonies based ministry by exploring the psycho/spiritual principals of success while learning solid business skills. In-class curriculum focuses on visioning, specific marketing skills, setting up your business, role play practice of true to life business situations, and client follow-up. Classes focus on wedding ceremonies, the most common way we are called to serve, while holding the space for all ministers to explore their personal expression of ministry. Students will receive feedback and coaching on real life events in each class. Class sessions cover:
• Marketing and finding clients (including Internet marketing).
• The initial contact with prospective clients.

This five session class with Rev. Susan Turchin and invited guests provides all the tools you need to build an exciting ministry performing ceremonies.

Allan Lokos, combined with imaginative exercises help enhance the skills necessary to effectively present sermons, perform weddings, officiate at funerals and speak in front of an audience on any occasion.
