KFTC is a facility for the training and equipping of young men and women in the area of Church Planting, Evangelism, Missionary work and Apostolic Team.  It is not a Bible School but simply a place where the theory and practice of these specific ministries can be realised and taught by seasoned servants of God who are gifted in these areas.  KFTC has a Kingdom vision.  It does not promote a denomination but does have a Pentecostal/charismatic emphasis.

Parenting courses ... and churches
There are many parents who are struggling with the challenges of bringing up their children in today's demanding world.  As churches we can have a significant role to play in coming alongside and giving support.  Many churches run toddler groups or nursery school facilities.  A parenting course is a good way of taking this a step further.  A session on Family Values and Spiritual Development has proved very popular.  Some have commented, 'It was one of the most useful sessions of the course', 'I need to find out more' and 'Can I bring the children on Sunday?'

Where appropriate Liz Ollerton is happy to share her experiences and talk with anyone thinking of leading a course, to give some suggestions and answer questions.  You can contact her either by email  or by phone 02920 752226.  You can also download a leaflet with more details: Parenting courses ... and churches (Word, 207KB).
