Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
What is the Do It Grandly Seminar?
The Do It Grandly™ seminar is a series of 4 videos. The goal is to help grandparents learn how to be strategic in passing on their faith to their grandchildren. The seminar gives helpful ideas, advice, testimonies, personal stories and support for grandparents. Because the videos are available online, the schedule for doing the seminar can be tailored to what works best for your church or group.
Can our group do the seminar in person together?
Yes! That is the best way! The attendees can do the discussion questions together after each session. As well, it’s just more fun to go through the seminar with other grandparents and hear different stories, advice, ideas and support one another.
How long is the seminar?
The seminar content plus discussion time is five hours.
Is there a proposed schedule to follow for the seminar?
There are several schedule options we can provide. The seminar can be tailored to what works best for your church or group. It can be done in one day, split up over two to four days, done once a week for a month, or done over four months. We can provide schedule templates.
What is the cost of the Do It Grandly™ seminar?
Grandly is a non-profit organization. The seminar is one way we are supported financially in our mission. On average, we look to receive about $40 per person attending. We can work with you to find the best option for bringing the seminar into your church.
How do we advertise our seminar?
Grandly will provide you digital copies of printable materials you can edit: brochures, pew cards, bulletin announcements, post cards and more. The most effective ways to promote the seminar are person to person invites and getting your pastor or group leader to support it from the front. Grandly also has a two minute intro video you can show.
Do attendees need to register?
Yes, please. They will benefit from doing so. It gives them free access to important follow-up materials and notification on new seminars. (We do not share attendees’ information ever.)
How is registration done?
Registering online is the simplest way for most people. We do understand that many attendees find it hard to navigate that, so we can provide you with paper registrations.
How will Grandly support us in running a seminar?
Grandly staff and volunteers are available to help answer any questions about our content, how to run a seminar, registration, payment, and schedule for the seminar prior to the start of the seminar. We are not able to support technical issues such as sound, projection, etc, so we recommend having someone on-site that can help with this.
Do the Grandly staff ever come and run the seminar in person?
Generally no. The Do It Grandly™ seminar is set up so that it is simple to run. In fact, many people have hosted a small group of grandparents in their home! We have found that those who run the seminar often get the most out of it!
What happens after we finish the Do It Grandly™ seminar?
Make sure you are receiving our bi-weekly posts and newsletters! We want to continue helping you think, pray, and act strategically for the welfare of your grandchildren. Grandly has over 250 posts that cover a variety of topics. People can read them or use them for discussion.
In addition we are currently developing the specific follow-up sessions for Grandly Groups. Email alissa@grandly.org to get ideas and materials.
