What People Are Saying

“We both had a great time and feel God really used the Discovery Center! We felt your goal of helping us discover our next step was kept the #1 goal of the week.Thanks for honoring us in that way.” – Jake and Rene Harder (2008)

“The Discovery Center is a great process for anyone to go through. The chance to be in a safe environment and have caring people speak into your life is rare and valuable. I am very encouraged by the ongoing care that is in the ability to periodically meet and continue seeking and giving support as a network. Thank you for continuing the hard work of speaking the truth in love.” – Kevin and Lisa Alvey (2008)

“Christina just told me this morning that she wants to go back, so you guys must have done something right. Honestly, last week was a great time of reflection and I believe God was in every minute of it. I really appreciate GHC and all of you who do this. Count my family, marriage, and ministry as one that you have redeemed. I know that without the perspective we gained last week we would have found ourselves in a whole lot of trouble.” - Jason and Christina Hopper (2009)

“ This Discovery Center was a major blessing for us. We are excited about being part of the GHC family as well as developing our relationships with others involved. ” – Richard and Tonya Reynolds (2009)

I have a great respect for what you are doing. I really hope to keep in touch with you all.What a wonderful experience!  Honestly, I don't typically give such high marks so consistently, but every thing was profitable, relevant, and useful.  I absolutely loved being a part of it.” – Adam and Carrie Lockhart (2009)

“Brenda and I had a tremendous time and are very grateful for the time, energy, and resources that were given by the GHC team.The input was honest and accurate.

“We thought the Discovery Center was really good. It was just the right mix of self-discovery and intensity that challenged us to look at our big picture in an important way; we will be talking about the process for ourselves for a long time to come. We are thankful that GHC was willing to invest in us and are appreciative of all of our feedback. We're convinced that every church planter and possibly staff should go through an exercise like the discovery center to help gauge who they really are and where they really are going. ” – Chris and Susan Lockhart (2010)

I really appreciated the insights you provided for me on my candidates this week.  We were able to rework a few things to put them in the right situations to address those identified issues. You are all awesome at what you do! - Matt Jones, Executive Pastor Cove Church (2011)

This was an amazing opportunity for both Kyla and myself to evaluate and assess ourselves for this ministry that God has called us to. Understanding our strengths and growth points, and how they work together for God’s purposes, was one of the most insightful revelations. Thanks and respect to GHC Discovery Center staff and observers for all your hard work and dedication in making this happen. – Oscar & Kyla Banks (2011)

This is exactly what we needed right now. The content, staff and flow were excellent, but exhausting.:) But I was glad it was like that (intense). We felt really served and value the high competence and care of the discovery center. Thank You!
As leaders who are normally busy serving and leading others it is rare that there is the opportunity for so much focused attention on us. The assessment week was truly a gift as it was a place where talented, wise and discerning people were gathered to serve us and be a voice of clarity and direction in our service and ministry. What a great place to be! – Alex & Amy Schweng (2011)
