Chris and Carol Green  (BCMMHC, CMLC, DSe, Hon.Causa)

 

The Greens are Board-certified master mental health coaches (BCMMHC) with emphasis on Marriage and Family (Carol), and Crisis Response and Trauma Care (Chris); certified master life coaches and trainers (CMLC), holistic wellness promoters, human value advocates, and marriage, family and ministry mentors. They have been educated, trained and certified in Christian Leadership, Biblical Counseling, Chaplaincy (Chris), and Business Administration (Chris).

 

They carry decades of personal and professional experience and for their many accomplishments, they have received numerous awards and acknowledgements, highlighted by each being conferred a life-evidence and achievement, competency-based ministry doctorate (DSe), and two honorary doctorates (Hon.Causa).

 

These former bi-vocational pastors have been international leadership advisors/ consultants/ professors/ and humanitarian statesmen; as well as songwriters, poets, authors, contributing authors (in an international best-seller), and served as ordained, licensed and commissioned ministers for more than 30 years. They see themselves simply as community servants.

 

Having been through times of income loss and homelessness; been targets of theft, fraud, betrayal, character smearing and swindle; been denied, detoured, delayed, disappointed, disillusioned, discouraged, and battled through burn out/ compassion fatigue, as well as the mental and emotional wear and tear that comes with life's setbacks; they know what it means to live in bitter seasons, and to have to pray, plan, wait, work and rise again; again and again.

 

Their Story: After decades of pastoral ministry, the Greens stepped outside of traditional religious settings and facilities to directly connect with and serve their community. Their community-supporting initiatives have included volunteering and hosting monthly workshops in an unemployment center, on-call life coaching support and monthly training for the staff of a women's emergency shelter, consultation and training for local human service organizations, and collaborating with various community outreach efforts.

 

From that priceless wealth of experience, wisdom and insight, they created a fresh approach to mentoring, coaching and consulting services. Now they encourage, empower and educate other servant leaders in business, community outreach, government, education, human services, households, neighborhoods, churches and ministries on building capacity for CARE-Readiness within themselves and their teams, engaging in mental health awareness and advocacy, and embracing spiritual care and wellness as a core value for overall success.

 

Their collaboration with local and international partners has been essential to their work with the professionals and volunteers who labor in diverse and under-served communities, and all who are seeking to inspire or experience a higher quality of life and greater purpose for living. They do this primarily through their Community CARE-Readiness Initiatives, Spiritual Wellness Support Groups, and Biblical Lay-counseling and coaching.

​

The Greens have been faithfully married over 40 years and they have three adult sons, two daughters-in-love, two grandchildren, and a host of people throughout the world who call them 'mom and dad'.

 

They are a husband-wife team with one business, one school and one mission: Renovations in Hearts and Homes. Therefore, they are not aligned with any political party, religious dogma, or 'bandwagon' social movements. They have been front-line participants in an under-the-radar, international phenomenon in which people of faith have been moving, by the thousands, outside of their traditions and buildings to take healing and hope to their personal and professional communities.
