Capernaum was an ancient city in Israel. Its name means “Village of Comfort.” It was on the north corner of the Sea of Galilee and was a significant location for much of Jesus’ ministry. Our ministry takes this name “Capernaum” as a constant reminder of the need for comfort and hope through wellness and relationship training.

Our specific education and unique experiences has enriched our skill in working with people in some of the most joyous and difficult times of life. Without a doubt, we have worked with families from the cradle to the grave. Together, we have led numerous marriage, family, and individual relationship retreats and seminars, countless Bible studies, and personal life-skill growth training events in the most diverse settings.   

Todd’s formal education includes a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry, a Master of Divinity with an emphasis in Chaplaincy, a Master of Science in Community Counseling, and four units/ Level 2 certified Clinical Pastoral Education. Carrie is a trained and certified nutritionist. These formal degrees and advanced certifications give us a distinct awareness that is researched and proven as effective resources for working with individuals and families. The practical civilian ministry has provided us a rich foundation that we have built upon for 20 years. Todd served associate pastor roles in Adult Ministry, Discipleship, and Pastoral Care. Carrie’s ministry working with families, raising three boys, and her wellness ministry has certainly complimented Todd’s. Todd has 26 years of military service. We have an exceptional experience through Todd’s service as a chaplain and Carrie’s wellness ministry. Todd has served both God and Country in some challenging dynamics. Three Combat deployments, Community Chapel based ministry, a Family Life Pastoral Counselor, and assignments in tactical and garrison environments. We believe that these things give us a wonderful insight for helping families achieve both personal and relationship growth.
