One of the core values of CHE is Building Relationships. Students learn the importance of doing home visits well with good listening skills. They work through the steps in carrying out home visits and they learn to recognize the stages of behavior change. This important skill can help families to set realistic goals. It's also an important skill to help avoid ministry burnout, recognizing that change takes time and to allow the Holy Spirit to work, another core value of the strategy we use.
