Do I need to recruit a trained counselor to run DC4K?
No, you don’t. DC4K is designed to be run by lay volunteers. We provide several training tools and personalized assistance. Your DC4K team will host the group, facilitate the discussion and activities, and help the children feel safe and comfortable. And we provide step-by-step instructions on how to do that, along with advanced training to help your leaders grow their skills over time. Plus, you or your leaders can always talk to one of our DC4K consultants, and they’ll share personalized tips on how to facilitate a group, along with advanced training to help your team grow their leadership skills over time.
Who will come to our DC4K group?
DivorceCare for Kids will clearly minister to children within your church whose parents are experiencing divorce or separation, but it also holds a much larger potential for ministry throughout your community. Once you make your group known, it’s likely that about 85% of the children who come to your group will come from outside your church. Most significantly, half will not be churchgoers and will not be followers of Christ. DC4K represents a tremendous outreach and evangelism tool for your church!
How will we get people to come to our DC4K group?
Your DC4K kit includes an extensive array of promotional strategies and tools to help you launch with success and grow your program once it is underway.
Where will I find leaders for our DC4K program?
Here are people you might consider:
- Adult children of divorce who are emotionally and spiritually healthy
- Single parents who have recovered from their own divorce
- Senior adults who have children experiencing a divorce
- Grandparents who want to help other people’s grandchildren find comfort
- Schoolteachers and child care staff
- People who have a passion and God-given talents to assist children and help them grow in the Lord
The DC4K Leader’s Guide and online articles provide detailed information on recruiting and training effective leaders, including a leader evaluation form to help you have a better knowledge of the people you are considering.
If I don’t like DC4K, may I return it?
Certainly! Once you receive your kit, you have 30 days to return it. Here’s more on our 30-day, no-risk, guarantee policy.
When does the 30-day guarantee go into effect?
Your 30-day guarantee goes into effect the day your kit arrives. Here’s more information on our no-risk, 30-day guarantee.
What about the adult DivorceCare program? Do I have to start that program at the same time our church launches DC4K?
It would be great if you could start both simultaneously, but it’s not required. We’d encourage you to make it a goal to ultimately offer both programs. They are designed to work together, and the need to help hurting families is great.
