Coaching & Mentoring
For over twenty years, Carla has been an incredible mentor, counselor and coach to me. She has worked with many different types of people, which has helped her develop both wisdom and an understanding of the nuance of complex situations. She is the kind of person who is willing to walk with you as you move through the ups and downs of life. I appreciate her gentle and patient style—encouraging me to come up with my own next steps, only filling in gaps herself when needed. I have sought her counsel during many difficult life challenges because following her guidance rarely fails. For instance, thanks to her encouragement, I was able to repair the difficult relationship with my father in my late 20s, resulting in incredible growth for both me and my father.

I have had several positive experiences with Carla through pastoral counseling, her teaching, and her sermons. During a particularly challenging time in my life, she met with me regularly, offering kind, supportive guidance that helped me move toward resolution. Her sermons have been deeply meaningful and have made a lasting impact on me.

Teaching
On several occasions, Carla traveled to Toronto to conduct Summit University seminars, and each visit left a lasting impression on all who attended. Her seminars were insightful, transformative, and deeply inspiring, offering not merely information but true illumination and inner encouragement. Her teaching manner is focused, disciplined, and purposeful, while her personal manner remains gracious, respectful, and compassionate. Carla possesses the intellectual brilliance, spiritual depth, and human warmth that inspired trust, reverence, and gratitude in her students.

What I greatly appreciate in the Bible Study Course is the attention to deep learning that Carla has placed in her development and presentation of the classes. She has created an online environment that is very satisfying because she delivers essential information in visuals and handouts, while also elaborating with examples, personal research, and interaction with the students through our questions and comments.
The course provides the opportunity for each one of us to look deeply into Bible history and current meaning. It opens a greater world view based on our Western culture that has grown up for centuries under biblical influence. She helps us see our place in that history and our shaping of the future on timeless biblical foundations.
I am not surprised because my long appreciation of Carla has provided similar meaningful experiences in retreats that she creates and presents. She has an analytical ability to help organizations develop structure filled with heart. She is a persuasive and entertaining writer for readers of all ages, though I find her children's stories delightful and transformational. I'm looking forward to many new experiences through Greenway Center for Personal Growth.

My wife and I are very much enjoying the Bible Class conducted by Carla Groenewegen. I have been involved in classes conducted by Carla at least two other times in the past, and I have always found her instruction edifying, interesting, enjoyable and practical. I highly recommend her classes and her mentoring in general. Thank you, Carla!

Being raised in the Protestant tradition, and growing up with a solid support of a rural church family was a blessing. We had confirmation class in our early teens. ...
Reflecting back I realize that I really didn't study the Bible. I had to memorize the books in order, Old and New Testament. Did I know what they contained? No.
When I received the notice about Carla G's course, I was thrilled. ... We've had 4 classes so far, and I look forward to each one. Carla has a deep understanding and knowledge of the Bible. I love the course. I hope that there will others to follow.

Carla Groenewegen is an inspirational leader, teacher, and minister. She has a rare gift for presenting practical spiritual teachings in a clear, accessible way that naturally inspires the listener to go deeper. ...
I am deeply grateful for her generosity in sharing her knowledge—not only in the realm of spiritual teachings, but also in the areas of writing and digital communication across various platforms.
Her new website, Greenway Center for Personal Growth, promises to be a treasure chest of opportunities for continued learning and personal expansion. I recently began her Bible class, and I am truly enjoying both the challenge it offers and the sense of fellowship it creates.

Taking this Bible course has been a deeply enriching and inspiring experience for me. It has awakened in me a renewed enthusiasm to learn more about God’s divine plan, beginning with the creation of the world and extending through the covenants and promises He has made with His people throughout history. ...
What I appreciate most is how the course connects these sacred accounts to our present time. It brings clarity and meaning to the Scriptures, showing that they are not only historical narratives but living truths that continue to guide and shape our lives today.
Each lesson invites reflection, strengthens faith, and encourages a deeper understanding of God’s purpose for humanity. This journey has not only expanded my knowledge but also deepened my desire to continue learning and growing spiritually. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of this course, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a more profound connection with God and His Word. I am very grateful for Rev. Carla and people who suggested her to initiate this course. Blessings for all!

Carla has a unique ability to blend compassion, knowledge, and spiritual insight into a vision for a better world. This is evident in her current Bible Study Course. Knowledge of the Old Testament—its characters and sequence—has always been a weak area in my knowledge of religion and history. Participating in Carla’s detailed sequential study of the Bible is opening doors of understanding for me about our Judeo-Christian heritage. The research-based course on the Bible is concise, offering a clear timeline of Biblical events, themes and characters, while simultaneously conveying the vision of God’s great plan.
Rev. Groenewegen’s deep wisdom and profound sermons have contributed to my spiritual growth and understanding of the indwelling God. Her June 2025 sermon “How to Love God in Everything” widened my understanding of the power of love to overcome personal and planetary obstacles to create a better world — even a golden age culture.
Carla breaks down complex subjects into digestible pieces and communicates them effectively, whether it be the Bible, the writing process, or the complexities of AI. My understanding of AI was widened by Carla's recent presentations to the Mercury Writers’ Guild on the topic of the ethical and practical use of AI.
Thank you Carla, for your willingness to share with an open heart your vast knowledge of so many topics.

Writing & Editing
I have worked with Carla for the past 7 years, and I cannot emphasize enough what a pleasure it has been. She has edited numerous video scripts for me, written texts for both my videos and website, and has consistently been extremely professional and knowledgeable.
She is currently editing my first book and has provided tremendous help with structuring, outlining, and refining the content. With her vast experience and expertise, she is simply the best choice for the job. I wholeheartedly recommend her and look forward to our future collaborations.

For over a decade, Carla has helped me hone my professional writing skills, particularly in the areas of marketing and persuasive communication. When I first started working with Carla, I wrote like a textbook. Now I feel confident tackling a wide range of writing assignments. Recently Carla encouraged me to write a persuasive introduction for a strategic plan. The plan was well-received, thanks to the introduction and now serves as an example for me of the importance of knowing your audience and writing goals before setting pen to paper.

Carla has been a Godsend to us and to our projects. She has willingly, happily, and excitedly made herself available to help us make our cherished dreams a reality. She patiently and diligently stands by as we clarify, strive towards and complete our visions. Her input, encouragement, and expertise is invaluable. Her attention to detail is superb and her willingness to listen and ultimately to please is so very much appreciated.
Thank you Carla for helping us create our websites and edit our books....
