About Gregory Bland and family
Greg has actively served in ministry for over 20 years. His ministry roles have varied from children’s & youth ministry, assistant pastor, church planting, sectional presbyter, and most recently, serving as an ‘interim’ pastor for churches in transition. His love and passion for children, youth and families is easily seen within his ministry. Greg’s experience in pastoral ministry, volunteering in primary and secondary schools, and parenting his own three children, has given him a passion to see health within family relationships.
It is his strong conviction that parents are the best coaches for their children and this conviction fueled his desire to write and develop the Pro-Active Parent Coaching model to equip parents to connect with and empower their children.
Greg, Lynn, Katelyn, Hannah and Joshua moved to Nova Scotia from Ontario in the summer of 2009 and began developing a parent coaching training manual entitled, “Pro-Active Parent Coaching: Capturing the Heart of Your Child.” May 2011 marked the books release and in August 2011 the training course “Getting Started in Pro-Active Parent Coaching” was developed and ready for purchase. In October of 2011 the Bland family accepted the call to provide pastoral leadership to Full Gospel Assembly in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Some of their family hobbies include hiking, camping, fishing, motorcycling, and volunteering at a local farm.
