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.

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.

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!

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.

Her attention to detail is superb and her willingness to listen and ultimately to please is so very much appreciated.
