Introduction to the Church-Based Domestic Abuse Ministry Success Path.
Master Class: In this Master Class Pastor Chris talks with Pastor Ben Marshall about his church’s journey to responding to domestic abuse and the way in which domestic abuse ministry was integrated into his church context.
Part One: An initial step in developing a domestic abuse ministry in your church is having conversations with church leadership.
Part Two: Implementing teams helps increase our chances at success and while every ministry will look different, forming teams is a vital next step. IBCD Videos

Domestic Abuse and Substance Abuse
Our newest Success Path, contributed by biblical counselor and pastor Mark Shaw, will walk our members through basic principles of biblical addiction intervention. While addiction is not a present reality in every case of abuse, it is in many. Our hope in providing this Success Path is that all of you would become familiar with these principles and that some of you may one day choose to pursue further specialized training in the area of addiction intervention so that you would be able to provide your local churches and/or domestic abuse response ministries with the specialized skills needed to bring gospel hope and help to those battling addiction.
