What is Mentoring?

Course Description

Mentoring is a timeless gift, and a much-needed one in a fast-paced, directionless world. Rev Dr Tan Soo-Inn, a sought-after voice in spiritual mentoring, teaches how Christian individuals and institutions can invest time, trust, and effort to help someone flourish in Christ. Whether you're a new believer, a cell-group leader, or even a senior pastor, this systematic and Bible-based approach to mentoring will be an invaluable tool in your discipleship journey.

    • Mentoring in the Church

Graceworks is committed to promoting relational transformation in church and society. We believe human flourishing happens in the context of loving relationships. We carry out this mission through mentoring, training and publishing. We help launch healthy Christian groups and strengthen existing ones — groups whose members experience authentic relationships that help them heal and grow in Christ. Our vision is to see such life giving groups thrive in church and in society.
