There is More
For the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that uses milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for (s)he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil (Hebrews 5:12-14).

Let’s Begin the Process!
Assessment & Mission Statement:
We begin with prayerful brainstorming to create your mission statement of a summary of your goals based on your insights and values, and identify your current status—the state of your spirit, soul and body (1Thessalonians 5:23).
Visioning & Action Plan:
We will focus your vision on your short- and long-term goals (Proverbs 29:18). With a clear picture of where you are being led by God to do the will of God in the near future, we will map out your journey from a scripturally biblical perspective.
Group & One-on-one Classes:
To speed the learning process and assure our biblical approach is successful, we will present individualized teachings from the Bible in class, and available also online, with customized materials, exercises, activities, and self-evaluations (2Corinthians 13:5: Hebrews 4:12).
Follow-up & Trouble Shooting:
We will be available (Matthew 18:20) to pray or brainstorm, review teachings or materials, as well as guide you in your daily walk, abiding in Him (John 15), living by the faith of the Son of God (Galatians 2:20) in all areas of your life.
Christine Carpenter
Christian Discipler
Christine is bold in her faith, strong in her love, determined in her commitment to let Christ live through her by the power of the Holy Spirit, and “go about doing good and healing all who are oppressed of the devil” (Acts 10:30). Her proclamation to others is from First Peter 2:9, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”
She believes that when we let the Holy Spirit lead and guide us into all truth we begin to see the hidden gems in the treasure chest of our Holy Book. Then, as we study Scripture, we find that we too demonstrate biblical truths that enrich our life before God, and the lives of those around us. Her personal mission in life is to share with anyone she can all the good news of the gospel of Christ and the Kingdom of God that has set her free: spirit, soul and body.
Christine is author of several secular and religious non-fiction books. She is also a presenter at conferences, seminars, workshops, and retreats. Her presentations and materials integrate biblical truths and Christian virtues, as well as effective communication and relationship skill building with others and our Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
Christine became an ordained minister in 1979. Her ministerial training includes Bible school and seminary. Her church work experience includes prominent denominations and inter- and non-denominational ministries in Oregon, Texas, Florida and Kentucky.
Since 1995, Christine has been Pastor and Director of Christian Women’s Ministries, an interdenominational Christian ministry enhancing the spiritual lives of women, girls, and their families. Besides pastoral responsibilities, her ministry includes researching, writing and presenting programs and materials focusing on Scripture and its practical use in everyday life. She currently serves as director and facilitator of the Pathways 2 Permanent Health project and Coming of Age in Christ programs.
Christine received her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Speech Communication from Oregon State University and Portland State University, respectively. She minored in Religion and received a 30-credit-hours Certificate in Women’s Studies, as well as a training certificate to instruct for the Virtues Project. She is also trained to instruct DiSC.
Christine and her husband of 31 years live near her 98-year-old mother in Eugene, Oregon. Christine’s three grown children all have families, making her a grandmother of eight and a great-grandmother of four.
